Urban Yamadori Common Box- first styling

Hey Guys,

Not much of a progression here. This post just shows the first styling one of the better of ten common box that i was able to procure from my work when they were changing the decor. They were growing in raised boxes (which I am now using for my vege garden) and about three of them will produce reasonable multi-trunk (i.e. triple and clump) bonsai in the future. I'm not sure how old the trees are but they have reasonable girth for Buxus.

I repotted them in march 2013 and allowed them to recover until now before working them.

I will post the other two that have good potential in this thread as I work them. I would really appreciate any advice on how to develop this tree and your thoughts on the current styling.

Buxus 1 after 12 dec 2103.jpg
I will be cleaning up/carving the cuts and deadwood once tree shows good signs of recovery.

Cheers guys,

Ces.

Have you considered losing the third trunk (far right) and developing the a twin trunk?

Gday Mount,

I have thought about that and may still do it but out of the 10 trees I potted up 4 of them were twin trunks so I'm going to attempt this one as a triple for now. Thanks for the thought though.

Cheers,

Ces.
