I recently bought a boxwood and have potted in a nice pot. However...I'm
not sure I should have gotten a boxwood.

You've gotten some good replies already- I just want to find out if the boxwood is indoors or outdoors. Where are you, geographically speaking? Where I am (Maryland), my boxwood is outside and I'm not going to repot it until spring.

I agree that boxwoods are tricky to prune because of the opposite branching pattern; I tend to end up with schematic-looking trees. But I have seen gorgeous specimens, and happily, boxwoods bud back well and can recover from oafish mistakes in pruning.
