Using your Making a Boxwood Bonsai video, I pruned, wired and potted my very first bonsai, a boxwood, this weekend. Thank you for posting this excellent video. It was easy to follow and gave me the confidence to try this. Quick question: After removing the wire in 1 - 4 months, can the boxwood continue on without the wire? Or is rewiring a lifetime activity at certain stages? It will be indoors during the cold Minnesota winters, and outdoors in the summers. Thanks again for sharing your expertise in the video. Take care.

So nice! If you like, feel free to post a photo on our website's forum! And wiring - after removing the wire usually you will need to apply wire again to further shape your tree. Perhaps wait a few weeks or months though, so your tree can recover well.

Amazing work. Can initial pruning and repotting be done in early spring as it would have all growing season to recover? As I have just purchased 2 Boxwood from a local nursery. Thank you sir. You do amazing work.
@bonsaiempire 2 жыл бұрын
If the tree is healthy and the repotting&pruning is mild - yes. If you plan a big repotting or lots of pruning, you'll make faster progress not doing it at the same time :)

Great content! I am a beginner and I just purchased a Boxwood to start my first bonsai. I am shocked by the components and texture of the bonsai soil. Where are the nutrients and water retention (as the soil appears to be rocks)?

@msantopr Жыл бұрын
Wow, the tree looks amazing at the end of the video! How do you select a tree that has good potential? I went to a local nursery and all the boxwood seem to grow straight up, instead of having a more rounded appearance, which doesn't feel right to me (but I am a complete novice).

Thats the tricky part! It helps to lift up trees and view them from all sides, but ultimately its a bit of a gamble too!

hi, I'm just starting on my bonsai what is the optimal age the boxwood should be and if it is not woody yet should I wait a few years and then start??
@bonsaiempire Жыл бұрын
Well, if you want the trunk to develop you need to let it grow a lot (possibly wiring a bit to shape the trunk, but no pruning)
@waknatious 2 жыл бұрын
I don't think I would do that much pruning and also trim that many roots the same season, but it looks beautiful and I hope it survives to next year. Great technique video regardless, thanks 👍🏼
@bonsaiempire 2 жыл бұрын
It was a lot for one styling, but performed at the right time of the year and providing really good aftercare, this tree will be fine. We'll post updates in a year!

If you are in the UK I would not bother with Box because of the presence of the accidently introduced Box tree moth that is prevalent in England at least.
