Boxwood progress
I took the wire off my big boxwood yesterday, and trimmed it up a bit. So I thought I'd post a sequence of its progress so far. These pics are its original state when I purchased it from Blue Oak Nursery in August of last year. Then, after wiring, repotting process with Scott, finished repotting, after removing wire, and finally after foliage clean-up.
Wire was on for almost five months. There are some occasional wire marks, but nothing too bad. Now I have to dress up the canopy, then give it a rest for a bit.
Comments and suggestions are always welcome. Yes, I still have the crossing trunk on the left. Those who have seen this tree in person agree that it's better with that trunk than without it. I do have some back budding starting lower on that trunk, so eventually it may be possible to shorten it.
Cheers
Brian
