shohin boxwood

This buxus japonica is one of several that were collected from an old hedge.
Over the years it's been reduced considerably to it's present size, 6.5 inches above the pot rim.
I expect the coming growing season to substantially increase the foliage mass.

Like the jin it makes the tree look very old. A little more on top and it will be fine. Enjoyed it very much! Keep up the good work! I also like the pot is in.
