It is lot bigger here. I think it is hard for you to make informal upright. The bottom part of the trunk is straight as a laser beam. You can not bend a boxwood wood trunk unless you cut through trunk to reduce stiffness.

Looking at your last picture, formal upright is the only way to go. If you want any other style then you have to chop it once more and make fresh start, which i would not dare. Buying a new potential boxwood with suitable trunk for that style will be much more comfortable.
