It's been a while since I updated this. I'm promising myself I'll do a better job of updating progressions. Here's an update from spring of 2024.

I finally found the first pic of it, as purchased but in a new pot.

Starting my end of summer cut back on the boxwoods. The critiques of this one at the club show were that it's too full, too wide, and too much of the trunk is hidden. And they were absolutely right. Since I'm not going to show it this year for sure, I did a pretty brutal cut back, including cutting out some mistakes I made in the past.
Here it is before:
Here's what I took out of it.
Here's some mistakes I cut out to start over. These are the "lollipop" limbs - too straight for too long before I started developing branching.
And finally, the result. It still may be too dense at the top, but it looks more open in person.
You can see some gaps where I removed the "lollipops"
