Bonsai4me has a nice article out titled “Buxus/ Boxwood Bonsai Indepth Guide“. International Bonsai Master Harry Harrington discuses basic Buxus – Bonsai care and Bonsai making tips. He does discuss defoliating Boxwoods, this is the second article I have see about this subject. I have added the article to the Boxwood – Buxus Bonsai page under Deciduous Bonsai and Bonsai Tree Information pages.
