Hi everyone,

I wanted to post this topic already 2 weeks ago, when I bought it, but here it is! I've bought this buxus for just €20,- at a bonsai nursery in my country.

It's blooming (I think, they look like some sort of flowers to me) and I really like it! Pictures are from 2 weeks ago, just after I removed all the dead branches and cleaned the trunk a bit.

Comments, critics and tips are always welcome!

wow nice tree..a little wiring and prunning, i think with in 2 year you have a valueble broom or properupright bonsai. But i think you need to balance the pot and the tree, the brunches and leaves or the head of the tree is more wider than the pot..i personally recomend a more wider and flater pot.

Great tree Youri.I really like how the bark looks old on boxwood no matter the age.

I asked how old it was, and it was 6 years old! The bark had fooled me, because I also have other boxwoods with the same age, and they don't have such a cool bark as this one! It gives the tree an old appearance, I think if you're going to ask how old it is, people say +10years (without knowing the price)

very nice youri. that bark does look way older than 6 years .i have a boxwood hedge thats well over 40 and doesnt look like that.maybe is a charactoristic of that variety. any idea an what species of buxus it is?

I forgot to ask that, I'll ask him I think it might be a buxus harlandii, but I don't know for sure!

Very nice buy youri I think we all a bit jealous, it looks like a fun tree to work with.

Neuh, Just happy for the poor guy. His friends are making fun of his little saplings on Facebook. Now with this monster they might actuyally understand what he finds so amazing about this hobby.

Haha, thanks everyone!

leatherback, I've shown them some masterpieces of Japanese artists and some pictures of the Noelanders Trophy, and they now think very different about it. Only it needs to look like a bonsai, otherwise they think it's just some boring plant, lol!

Need to find some more big monsters!
