I have 2 collected boxwoods, similar trunk diameters but quickly ramifying into much thinner branches to form a traditional round bush shape. I'd love to create something similar to the material you are developing to eventually wire up into an upright shape. 2 questions:
1) I live in Utah, average temps right now ~50 degree F. Is it the right time of year for a hard chop?
2) I collected the trees ~15 days ago and currently have them in pots awaiting repotting. Do you have any recommendations on soil composition?
Thank you!
