By the Spring of the following year, the tree had responded well and was
healthy.

However, there was one major problem with the planting as a whole; when
the owner had attempted to move the tree and its wooden box to another position
in his garden, its sheer weight had meant that even four men had been unable to
lift it!
I decided that even though the tree had only been collected and potted up 8
months before, it would be a good idea to remove the heavy soil the tree had
been planted into, and also reduce the size of the container.
While disturbance of the roots of a newly-collected tree is not advisable,
Privet as a plant species are incredibly tough and the opportunity to provide the
tree with an inorganic bonsai soil mix would greatly benefit it long term.
