I pruned hard Buxus ball we have in our garden for over 20 years.
Next year I will dig it out and then we´ll see.
I think it´s going to make beautiful bonsai one day

Nice one. Now let it recover a bit, get green again. In late summer you can consider trimming the roots, by putting a spade in the ground all around the rootball. By March you should have triggered the plant in making new your roots closer to the trunk, helping the process of regrowing it in a container. I find boxwood to deal very well with rood reduction.

Good advice thank you very much I will do that.

In the light of collecting boxwoods, I dug one out of a garden yesterday and put it in a pot, but it is so friggin massive all the foliage is on the outer sides of the branches. Question is: does the sempervirens backbud on old wood if you cut off all green?

Thanks in advance!

It´s coming nicely

nice!
