AKA Lewis mock orange or syringa. Any opinions on this species as a possible bonsai? I have multiple bushes of this growing at my place and one really needs to be removed.
I've been putting it off for a few years, its probably been growing there for 30+ year and I know its going to be a chore getting it out if the ground. Now I'm wondering if it might be a decent subject?
I did cut it back to 2 feet or so, just to get the limbs out of the way and I don't actually remember what the stump looks like and right now, its under a foot of snow. I do know its a clump with multiple trunks, mostly straight. The largest might be 3-4 inches across.
It will be a ton of work and I am a absolute beginner but since its destined for the burn pile, I might as well learn on it.
