No 1 Buxus harlandii This one came from a bonsai nursery and has had a previous trunk chop. My next move with it would be another trunk chop. Is this regarded as styling? I think probably yes but like everyone I want to get into it.
Ces.
I'm no guru on Buxus, but I think they are really slow, so given Ken's response, and this fact (please correct me if I'm wrong guys), you may want to reconsider. The key to this compo is having material that grows quickly as it presents the best opportunity to make progress. That's what the compo is all about - progress.
Food for thought mate.
Cheers,
