Boxwood pruning

[jimib]

I have this little Kingsville I bought earlier this year. It already had some root work done, and was in a small plastic pot. I didn’t need to trim much to put in this pot. This thing has taken off with new growth all over the place. I feel I should be safe to trim some of this new growth back, I’m not 100% sure. Should I trim it back, or just let it grow? Thanks for any advice

Hooray for Boxwood! I'm not the best to offer advice other than read, read, read the historical threads here.

It's growing and looks healthy, so you should be fine to do some trimming. I just trimmed my boxwood this week and it was repotted this spring, with significant root work.

When did you move it to this pot?

I just trimmed up some the new growth. I put it in this pot a little over a month ago.
