Boxwood. Good for bonsai, or not.
I've been a fan of boxwood for bonsai for many years. I'm always surprised to find that many bonsaiists don't like boxwood. Some even hate it.
I've often wondered why this is, and thought maybe some answers can be found on this forum.
IMHO, collected boxwood from old hedges often has great trunk potential, and the foliage is always in good proportion. The wood is hard and durable, and takes well to carving.
So, bonsaiTALKers, what say you? Like it? Hate it? Don't care one way or the other?
