my tree

Newnan, GA(Zone 8a)

This is the tree I mentioned that we have been pruning for years. It's got such a great shape, I do wish i had it in miniature. I actually thought about doing a trunk chop on it, but I would probably kill it. And it's pretty where it is. I am very unhappy with the left side. The natural shade has increased since we put this here, and now it's leaning toward the light.

tiG, if you said what kind of tree it is I don't remember. You say you are happy with the tree, so maybe to do a Bonsai you might leave it where it is and keep shaping it, and try bonsai with something else. Donna

someone said it might be a Pittsoporum, and it does grow like the ones I can find. I am happy with it where it is, but if it were in a tray, what pruning would you do with this as it is now?
We are going to try and get back in the woods and trunk chop a few Privets today to collect next spring.
