What presence this tree has. It is just awesome!

This is a classic example of rotating the tree to find something totally different. The one pic looks like a skinny, lanky tree. Then rotate it to the second pic and it has a ancient, sturdy look to it. Nice tree.

and what the one in the golden orange pot became.
Celadon pot is 10 cm [ 4"] wide.
The shrub is produced more new shoots, and getting even denser in leaf/branch.

This is the maximum size range on my bonsai tables.
The Big one (Podocarpus) has a 9-inch base. The Little one (Ligustrum) sits in a pot with a bit less than 2-inch diameter.
Unfortunately, I can no longer lift (or even move) the large one so we're going to have to part ways soon.
How long have you had the big guy? I am sure it will be a very hard day...when you part ways. Is that the inevitable with bonsai?
I dug him up in S. Florida about 10 years ago. It's at least 80 years old (that's when the house it was planted beside was built).
The only inevitability is that I've grown too old and ill to handle trees this large. And it'll go to a good home.
The pic is my now-12-year-old granddaughter, who was less-than two at the time, standing beside the newly dug tree.
