Description
This specimen of Toyon, while not currently styled as a bonsai, exhibits the species' characteristic dense evergreen foliage and abundant clusters of bright red berries. Its natural growth habit, appearing multi-stemmed and bushy, suggests potential for a forest-style bonsai, particularly for its attractive winter fruit display.
