Boxwood
Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone has had success on training branches for this species? I know BOXWOOD has one of the hardest woods out there; however, I would like to train/move the secondary branches on my 3 gallon "WINTER GEM BOXWOOD".
These secondary branches are obviouly connected to the trunk and are about a 1/2 inch thick. I need to move a couple of branches about a 1/3 of an inch so they can grow at a slighly different angle for the "front" of the tree to work? Also, would the method of wiring the tree work or would a more drastic approach need to be taken since the wood is so hard?
In the past i've seen BOXWOOD mentioned before on this forum so anyone with experience on this species....your help would be greatly apprieciated. Thanks, Rob
