			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This weekend I dug up a <strong>box tree (buxus sempervirens)</strong> from my growing bed.  I have been growing it there for the last year or so to let it create it&#8217;s own branches and grow on a little bigger so that it would be ready for a pot.</p>
<p>On Saturday I decided it was time to style the box tree and place it in a pot.  Mainly to do with having not much else to do but also because it was looking ready for styling.</p>
<p>Here it is in the growing bed before the repot.  I&#8217;ve put the flash on so that you can see the branch structure better -<br />

<p>Here is the angle from the back in the growing bed of the box tree -<br />

<p>I uprooted the tree and gave the roots a soaking under the tap followed by a vigorous trim.  It was fitted into it&#8217;s small new pot and new soil mix was added making sure all the gaps around the roots were filled.  I added some moss around the base of the trunk for effect and watered again.<br />
After that was the simple process of trimming a lot of excess branches off to give a pleasing look to it.  Finally I fully wired the tree into a more twisted position until I found it perfect.  Here is the result -<br />
