Nice tree, MM. We had a really bad invasion of Boxwood caterpillars in spring https://www.google.sk/search?num=10...1j0i30k1j0i13k1j0i13i30k1j30i10k1.-5XNZig12AY and many garden and cemetery trees were literally eaten and killed. I saved the trees in mom's garden collecting the caterpillars manually and spraying insecticide. Hmm, at the first glance the issue looked like spider mite infestation, many empty spaces - holes in foliage, black spots and webbing... The bastards can complete up to three life cycles in one season here. Careful.

That sounds aweful, I will keep an eye out. Thanks!

It has been a while since I have posted anything on this one or even worked on this tree. I was actually thinking of passing it on, but know I am on the fence, I may keep it.

I seem to have an infestation of some type of caterpillars, I'll nuke them later:

Some progress:

I like this as the front:

It still needs to fill in some, but is coming along.

Looks great! I would have to agree with you that the last photo would make a great front.

Looks good! I agree that the last photo is a good front of the tree. I’m glad to see that you got it out of that blue pot. It wasn’t doing it for me. Nice tree!

Nice tree. Looks good..
I checked out your website and I think I have looked through about all of it. I looked all of it but especially liked the azalea parts.
