My parents are landscaping their front and intend to remove all of the shrubs that have been there for the last 40 years or so. They have several large Natal Plums I would love to try to save, but I haven't been able to find much information on the species as bonsai. They are shaped as waist high hedges now and would need to be chopped pretty hard. I would prefer to air layer them, but do not know if I will have enough time (or if they take well to air layering). At least one looks like it would be worth collecting, but id likely have to do it out of season. Am I wasting my time on these? Any information or insights would be greatly appreciated.
I can get better pictures next time I'm over there:
