I bought two of these Buxus trees about four months ago:
Two weeks ago I decided to clean up one of them and I discovered a nice single trunk in there. Most of these Buxus are multitrunk disasters only good for an Oak or Bluegum style?

I will probably have to regrow most of the branches and with a little wiring I can sort out the movement of the trunk.

I am thinking of styling it into a feminine semi-formal tree.

A few sides to the tree:
Any thoughts on the tree will be welcomed.

wow i thinkg she is simply beautiful as she is very lucky find

Done some branch selection. Any bright creative ideas on this one?

Looking pretty good as it is. Maybe it is a bit tall and could benefit from selecting a new leader. See how it fills out Lennard and then make a decision. Buxus (japanese)? make good smaller trees.

I am thinking of chopping it at the red line but there is still a long straight piece of trunk indicated by yellow. Maybe I could wait for the growth indicated with purple to grow on a bit and maybe I could use that as a new leader.

Maybe I could use my trunkbender to see if I can bend that yellow part of the trunk?

Very nice lennard
I prefer the idea of chopping when you get a new shoot there as it will have taper there then to match the rest of the tree. If you bend then no taper
