The Angel of Death

[AZbonsai]

I am sure that is how boxwoods perceive me whenever I look at them in the nursery. I have spared them for several years but there always seems like there is one that calls to me. This is the latest, dare I say "victim", that has caught my eye. It has great corky bark and an interesting flair at the trunk. I just kind of trimmed him back a bit. The AZ sun chews these up and spits them out QUICKLY. So he sits behind my bench.

Nice find!

I like it. Lots better than the boxwoods I see for sale around here.

This one is pretty rare around here as well. Mostly pencils in a pot.

That makes interesting moves.

Have you read this?

Don't believe the "let it dry out" BS.
Or the "Spring Repotting" BS.

The "Roots and Tops" is actually not BS IMO.

Win.
