Hi all,
I picked this boxwood up at the end of the summer and worked it back a bit here recently. I removed a good amount of the rootball on this one. The species bounces back so well. The base is about 3" and the height of the tree is maybe 12" or so. I packed the bottom layer of the nursery can with a couple inches of locally produced Calidama and mixed in a little perlite to create a drainage layer and give the new roots somewhere to go. Now I will let this tree grow out into a shrub this season and revisit the roots and new branch selections a year from now. Thanks for taking a look and c&c is most welcome and appreciated.
