New 01-20-2021: I purchased the following Buxus – Boxwood from Lowes box store in Parker, Co. I actually bought two of them both being very similar in each other.

It does get worked on every year and thinned out and unneeded branches removed etc. I started to reduce the root ball in preparation for putting it in a Bonsai pot.
