When I moved into my house 4 years ago there were a few boxwood plants that we didn't like in the spot they were in. So I uprooted one of them and planted it behind my garage (In a spot with about ~2 hours of direct sunlight), and there it has grown largely unseen until a few weeks ago. At the moment, I have just a few very young plants (just began bonsai a year ago), so I set off to see if I could successfully collect this more mature specimen from the wilds of my backyard and keep it alive to add it to my collection.
I don't have a good shot of it in the ground, but this is what the trunk and roots looked like after I cleaned and thinned them out a bit.
I chopped off quite a few branches and cut some back so it wouldn't take up my entire deck. Maybe I took off too much in the process? Maybe not enough?
Here is how it looks now. It's been alive for about a month post-transplant.
What things did I do wrong?
And moving forward, what additional branches would you remove (and when?)
Thanks!
