After ➡️ Before

First bonsai, shaped from a nursery boxwood. Before picture is just a stock photo as I didn’t take a photo of the original plant, but you get the general idea.

Middle photo is after the hard prune of about 90% of the plant, first photo is current with the new flush of leaves.

I’ve got a general shape, I think for now I’ll just leave it alone until next spring. I’d like to fill in the apex / canopy a little more, but that’ll take some time.

Have had this plant about a month or so.

Open to any tips from experienced boxwood growers!
