Double trunk Japanese Boxwood in Live Oak Style?
Hi,
Recently purchased this double trunk Japanese boxwood in a 7 gallon nursery pot. Out of the five of this size that they had here, I saw more potential on this one.
I've seen some posts in this forum about the live oak style and training boxwoods in this style. This tree's specific growth habit seems to lend itself well for this style.
I am posting pictures of what I call the front and the back, and a low resolution picture of a page of the book Outstanding American Bonsai (highly recommend for just looking at some excellent masterpieces).
I'll let the pictures tell the story.
Questions are:
1. Should I get rid of the double trunk?
2. Is the live oak style fine for this tree?
3. Should I just plant it and let it grow and wait some 40 years?
4. Styling suggestions
5. Which should be the front?
