Trimming Buxus..

You can trim box any time really but the trick is to do them a little at a time too much can cause damage. I use scissors to trim mine lightly all over about twice a year to keep the shape. The ball shape just comes as you curve over it, keep standing back and you will find it easy to see what you are doing.

cheers, i,ll clip it lightly as it grows.

I wouldt really clip them after september depending on weather, as the sold can damage the new growth and also the cut edges. It s best done either early morn before the full sun reaches the plant or late afternoon when the heat of the day is going.

thanks, i,ve just potted them on without clipping them, i,ll leave them till the spring and watch the new growth.
