My cousin works for a landscaping company. He called me Friday and said he had 4 huge Japanese Boxwoods in his tree and shrub trash pile from a pull job where he put in all new shrubs. These were free ...Of course I went and got them and was super happy when I saw how mature they really were. I am new to bonsai. This is by far the largest material I have ever worked with. I spent about 7 hours getting the's trees to where they are now. I have no intention of wiring just yet...I'm much more interested in survival. Obviously "styling" will come later. For now I put them on what I would call a "path". I tried to take the trees in the direction they seemed to want to go as I made cut after cut...lots of tough decisions. The large jins in the first two were basically already there. The super large tree obviously needs lots of work. I am in Texas, and I really like Boxwoods that take on a 200 year old massive Live Oak look...something that reminds you of that perfect climbing tree in the park. I would love to get this tree to that level of refinement someday. I could use a little help with were I am now concerning these trees. I have more pics of the trees but I could only post 5 to this page...Thank you very much for your time.
