So the tree below was collected last year and is pretty huge sumo base. It is doing excellent but I am having trouble identifying the species. Before I trunk chopped it it was around 5ft. high semi-shrub but with large thick branches. There is some serration to the leaves as you can see. Any help or guesses is greatly appreciated. I originally guessed some type of yaupon or ligustrum.

Correction: Yaupon Holly with a nicer then usual base! ;)

LOL...I stand corrected. :)

BTW, I have several similar to this (Pride of Houston variety) and they also produce berries. I hope yours do too. It adds a lot to the bonsai esp winter time. :)
