Having studied the privet for a while, I found what I felt was the best front
for the tree as a bonsai in the future and proceeded to shape the trunk by
removing excess growth with an electric reciprocating saw. At this point in time,
the most important aspect of the trunk to consider was its silhouette, ensuring
that it had good taper with a wide base that gradually narrowed to the top.
The tree was then left to respond to being collected and heavily chopped.
