Box balls question

linnea2
16 years ago

Hi,

I have 10 Boxwood 'Green mountain' in containers and 4 in the ground.

They're 14-20" high and have never been trimmed.

My question is, do I shear them down to ball shape all the way,

leaving only the small cavities resulting from uneven growth,

or do I approximate the ball first, trimming roughly,

and refine the shape over a period of time. If the latter, how often?

Hope one of you experts out there have an answer,

Thanks in advance!
