Starting a Shohin boxwood from nursery stock and a beer

[YamadoriFL]

This started off as a very low branch that had some roots from a larger boxwood. I chopped it and let it get established and just wired it tonight. If I can keep it healthy I think it’ll be a nice Shohin Japanese Boxwood.

This one was starting to shoot off some nice buds so I went ahead and put it in a different pot. Seems to be doing well. Got a brand new back but looks like today.

I would recommend biertime after wiring-time..

I like the tree and your styling. The pot is nice also.
I'm curious why you chose that position in the pot? It seems too far to one side. Did the shape of the root ball drive your placement?

 

[YamadoriFL]

Thanks @BonjourBonsai Yes the root are all off to one side. I cut it down from a larger stock.

I got this image of you smashing the bottle on the bench, and slashing at the tree like a bar fight! Lol!

I've been there. It ain't pretty. The tree usually wins!

How much direct sunlight? Before and after repotting?

 

[YamadoriFL]

Here it is today. It recovered well. I kept it in a small portable greenhouse until a couple days ago. Now it’s back outside, only in partial sun.

Can this be grown indoors during the winter? How much light?
