Pull boxwood very easily yourself

Box trees are popular, but unfortunately not cheap either. But you can easily pull it yourself, in the following way:

From a box tree you cut off a small branch and put it in a shady spot deep in the ground. You really have to do nothing but wait and possibly keep slightly damp, if nature does not already do that for itself.

It takes a few months, but then you are rewarded and the branch has roots, which succeeds in about 98% of all cases. Now you can trim the tree a little bit with scissors, so that it grows nice and bushy. Later you can also cut shapes, ball, pyramid, which fits the growth.

If you do not have a garden, you can try it in a bucket on the balcony. But you have to be careful that the earth does not dry out, especially in frosty conditions.

But you have to have patience, they grow very slowly.
