Colorado Bonsai – New Mexico Privet – Forestiera neomexicana Bonsai Tree II – Colorado Rocky Mountain Bonsai

Of my 6 New Mexico Privet – Forestiera neomexicana Bonsai trees this is my oldest tree in the collection. I obtained this tree at a Rocky Mountain Bonsai Society sponsored event at Arborland Nursery in Milikin, Co. somewhere around March 3, 2010 time frame. The event was coordinated by then President Paul Gilbert and a bunch of club members descended on the nursery all looking for the perfect New Mexico Privet. I picked out this tree and promptly cut off the left side of the tree much to the horror of my new friends in the club. I have made a new page for this Bonsai tree and you can read about its development including berries for the first time ever here: New Mexico Privet – Forestiera neomexicana Bonsai II.
