[IBC] Boxwood Plant
Hello all,
I recently bought a boxwood and have potted in a nice pot. However...I'm not sure I should have gotten a boxwood. Any comments or suggestions about my purchase. The leaves and the branches just seem to go EVERYWHERE, and I cant seem to find any pics online of a boxwood bonsai. Please help Happy Holidays!

Boxwoods can make nice bonsai. Yes, they do grow
every which way, like most hedges. ou have to prune and wire to get it to go the way you want. I have two very nice ones, but no pix at this time.

Maybe you can check the Gallery and give Tony the exact title of your post. Carl L Rosner Tony Busko wrote: I'm having some difficulty searching for the Kingsville Boxwood bonsai.

Date: Sat Dec 20 21:02:54 EST 2003 From: "Tony Busko" 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. ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Jarbas Godoy ++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?

What I do with my Kingsville boxwoods is to prune the same way you prune maples--by finding the place I'd like to cut back to, and cut out the center shoot (or section of branch, if it's that large). You get instant ramification. This is especially good to do in intially working down a boxwood that is bushy. It thins it out and increases ramification closer to the trunk.
