"use oversize wire,and go slow when bending" - I so agree with this, I have several Kingsville boxwoods and they are mainly grown as a clip and grow method. But there are some that i have had to wire to open them up a bit.
Root pruning, I may be on the more conservative side from Mike_p, I dont take half off somewhere less than that. But hearing your technique I will try that this spring.
Below is the start and end of a boxwood that I did. The last photo I did have to do some wiring to get it to open up some, but its mimumal. I always have to leave my wire on a VERY long time to get the branches to set... Mike do you have to as well?
(They came in, in the wrong order... the one with my business card is the most recent one.)
