below is an exerpt from the latest entry to the Photo/History of the Japanese Boxwood; click-on to see entire history of this little tree.
Since I was re-potting anyway, decided to give the Boxwood this nice ceramic pot.
I swear, my little trees all perk-up when you give them a nice pot..they stand a little straighter, it seems like their color improves & I almost always see a growth spurt within days.
I was very pleased once I de-potted & got a look at the roots..Buxus has developed almost textbook root structure, with a nice "fan" of feeder roots growing out below the base of the tree. And, he is starting to develop a nice-looking nebari, although I elected to rebury it, so it can develop further.
