Hi all,
I was wandering through a local nursery and spotted this little fella looking all out of place on its own and I couldn't resist! (Apologies for the slightly out of focus photos)
It struck me as being different to the usual nursery stock of ilex around here. The single trunk is a rarity alone.
What do you think? Does it have much potential? I'm currently thinking a nice slanted style as that trunk line is prominent. It will need some width adding to the base however.
I have a few ilex around the garden that are growing into large trees (Niwaki style), but his is the first I've bought purposefully for bonsai!
