I'm pretty sure I've never seen a privet bonsai quite this spectacular. It belongs to Harry Harrington. We've featured it a couple times over the years, but this latest iteration takes it to another level. Here's Harry's caption... "So at last, here it is........taken last night under lights, my Common Privet bonsai (Ligustrum ovalifolium), height 19"/48cm. In a handmade bonsai pot designed and built by Swedish potter Thor Holvila"
Harry Harrington’s bonsai4me has long been one of our default websites when it comes to researching a wide range of bonsai and useful bonsai information. Harry also posts a steady stream facebook photos of his latest bonsai endeavors, including the photos shown here.
In addition to his strong web presence, Harry has published three excellent bonsai books. They are all available in Europe and soon the first one (The Foundations of Bonsai) will become available here in North America. Stay posted.
Here's another of our favorite Harry Harrington bonsai. It's a yew that we posted in June, and even though it wasn't that long ago, it's worth another look.
Europe is home to some awesome Olive bonsai and this one, though a work in progress, is no exception.
