Detail of the front of the newly-styled Privet.

One peculiarity of this bonsai is that when the tree was still growing as part of a boundary-hedge, over the years parts of the wire fence growing alongside the hedge had become embedded in the trunk.

For the time being, as a point of interest, I have decided to leave the embedded wire in place.
