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.
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)?
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).
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 👍🏼
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.
It’s convenient that this video just came out as I just purchased myself a boxwood
It's amazing how well the tree looks after just the initial shaping.
Aussie Dave here, beautiful job also a nice explanation of your technique 🤗
Thanks and welcome
Thank you, gives me some insight on how to start on a couple of boxwoods I got on sale this fall
Nice, go for it! :-)

Saya suka bonsainya ,cantik sekali salam kenal dari indonesia
Great video! Which variety of boxus is it exactly? I would like to create my own bonsai similarly.
Thank you!
Man if I had such a big place...

Thanks Mark! And regarding substrates, perhaps read this: www.bonsaiempire.com/basics/bonsai-care/bonsai-soil
Good, very detailed 👍👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you for sharing,,wow
Love the video. Please tell me where to buy and what type of wire you are using. Thanks !
Its standard bonsai wire, available in any (online) bonsai store!
Wow....❤️
🌱🍂
Awesome...👏👏👏
Would this be better doing in fall or spring?
Both is fine, ideally repotting in early spring and pruning later in the season.
@@bonsaiempire thank you.
I hope you revisit this tree
We will! It is coming along nicely.
Verry Good brothers thank you for sharing Vidio very imfressive
Thanks for visiting
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??
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)

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!
lessons on wiring and branching techniques,please
It would be well to show what will be your front.
Le bonsai esta muy fondos

@@bonsaiempire it's in good hands 🙂👍🏼
@Bonsai Empire Any update?
So was this a regular boxwood that you can get at a garden and you turned it into a bonsai?
Correct
what's the size of the wire you are using?
A variety actually, ranging from 1mm to 5mm.
Do you sell bonsai tools?
Nope, sorry!
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.
I might try boxwood again if I lose my sense of smell
I like this smell of boxwood but I used to have them where I lived as a kid so I guess it's a little nostalgic.
@@codemiesterbeats to me, it smells like cat pee
What species of boxwood is this?
It looks like a Sweet Myrtle ( Myrtus communis) not a boxwood.
Superb
Thank you! Cheers!
