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. Mike

Persist, and someday you may see the peak in sunshine. You may pick up the stone and it's a thing of beauty. MP@BBB Studio |

Why that huge jin? It is so large it detracts from the rest of the tree.
I think it would be better if it was removed, or substantially reduced  |

It looks very nice. 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.
