Hey man when are we repotting these boxwoods? Andddd What can I expect to do for root removal? Yours is looking good in that baco, I need to get mine in one.

@sorce a method I've heard of but have not tried yet is to defoliate all but the terminal leaf on each branch, and you will get growth from each place you trimmed a leaf. This is supposed to ramify boxwoods faster. Have you, or anyone tried this method?

Thanks for the link, but that thread is rather difficult to follow. Bottom line, did you defoliate as Harry Harrington describes? And what were your results?

It is highly counter productive.

It may work as described, but even if it does, the result is useless to bonsai.

The resulting branches from that defoil is NOT ramification....
Just a bunch of branches.

Useless as far as sustainable design goes.

We always want 2 to 4 to 8 to 16 etc...
That is sustainable.

But then you prune back and do the same thing to those branches, and that gives you ramification.

That initial defoil is just a setback then.

A complete waste of time and resources.

Just cut back to 2 in the first place.

That thread isn't that hard to follow if you want to do it better.

I wonder if I should try bacon to save my boxwood.

I....hope... I have ..."rescued"....boxwood.

I had a boxwood. It was a happy boxwood. A...supposedly "bulletproof boxwood." It was so happy that it whistled when I watered. Whistling watering I guess you'd say. :) But it was in a very......pedestrian pot....... I didn't particularly prize the pedestrian pot. :confused: Sooo... I...
