Outdoor Bonsai — Ligustrum sinense — Chinese Privet — Clip and Grow Style — 5+ Years

A spirited young shohin bonsai with great potential — this Ligustrum sinense (Chinese Privet) has been growing for 5+ years from a cutting and has been in active clip-and-grow bonsai training since 2026. At 10 cm, the multi-stem clump style composition rises from a shared base with three vigorous upright stems reaching skyward — a natural, forest-like composition in miniature.

Chinese Privet is a vigorous and forgiving bonsai subject, ideal for those developing their skills or wanting a low-maintenance tree with year-round interest. Planted in a traditional Vietnamese bonsai pot — a dark unglazed round form with simple, clean lines that let the tree speak for itself.
