AusBonsai

Hi Just pick up the lady today I think this is a camellia or some kind of rhododendron could someone please confirm?

Thanks,

large leaf gardenia?

Definitely Gardenia
Most likely the big leges one as grant suggeated

Ah it definitely does match that description, I guess then the large leaves dont bode well for bonsai? Would i be better off keeping it as a feature tree?

Personally I think it has great bonsai potential! You should be able to reduce leaf size over time by defoliation. Nice base and trunk.

Very nice trunk, i agree with peter this will make a nice bonsai and the leaf size will reduce.
