My boxwood is an old buxus japonica that was part of a hedge for at least 75 years. That's how the trunk got so fat. You'll never see a Kingsville like that unless you plant it in the ground and live to be 200, or more.
Your Kingsville looks good. The trunk and branching are what would be expected for one that age.
