So I am moving unexpectedley and I had a boxwood in the ground. I planted the bugger about a year ago. It was extremely rootbound so I cut off about a 1/3 of the rootball at the bottom and planted it in the ground. When I pulled the guy out of the ground I could not tell if there had been any new root growth. When it was planted I planted it over a cement stepping stone to flatten out the root growth. It's early summer here in Santa Monica and I was wondering how much work if any I should do to this guy. I was thinking about cleaning up the rootball a little more and putting the plant into a grow box with better soil. Should I proceed with that plan but maybe not touch the roots except to knock out the old dirt?
