One Fine Vine
Started 1980
If unpruned it will climb or crawl on the ground, but it can be pruned to make a miniature shrub. When treated this way it makes a nice bonsai.

    I have a Trachelospermum Asiaticum and it is 100% vine, no way to get it to grow bonsai like you have it. On the other hand there are many varieties of the Asiatic variety. I wrote about some of these varieties on my blog Star Jasmine Trachelospermum & Trachelospermum Asiaticum. I prefer your standard Trachelospermim Jasminoides myself. They have some pretty neat varieties.
