Little boxwood

[defra]

This little one was bought at groseries store and styled one year ago was i think the third time i tried to style a tree !
Last pic is how it looks after one year of recovery

The new growth will take over the legy branches at some point to create a more compacted shohin size tree

Nice!

A Very well executed deletion!

It grew some new branches wich can be used to take over the long leggy branches so i pruned it down some to build up a more compacted tree
Still a few big branches wich have to go but ill take this one slowly down

This one gonna need some work soon
I wont believe anyone saying that boxwood is a slow grower !

That deadwood might be spectacular after some carving and a little time. And yeah, they don't grow as slowly as some people say they do.

Nice work.

I really like the branch placement as well as the taper in post #1 photo #6.

So do i but i think the branches are to long and i am aiming for a small tree with this one so i think most of what you see now will get replaced with new growth

Pruned this fella to stimmulate the growth more on the inner parts to build up a compact tree !





Pretty much pruned off

It is in desperate need of a wire on the young growth that you are plannin to keep. Put it a the right angle to the trunk, give it some movement. Now it is flexible like wilted spinach. But in 2 months they will have become hard due to the lignification of the branches,a nd it will take so much longer to set. Do it.. Do it now!

yes i tought about that but i am not completely sure on the design yet
on picture two from last post the middle branch/trunk is kinda straight and long with only growth on the top so im thinking of removing that one completely also so the tree will be smaller then in the end and also the right branch might be going because the little shoot below that one can be grown out to take that one over
but im not sure yet so i am going to look at it for a while for now to figure something out

On my Blue Bill Buxus, I wired the branches last year with only the intention of putting some movement into the first couple of inches knowing I would be cutting it back when I had a better idea of where my branch placement would be. I wasn’t too worried about perfect positioning (mostly because I am not that good yet) and I figure I could easily get a branch going in the direction I needed when it came time.

And very nice tree.
