Now that my Juniper has been wired and repotted into a larger pot, I figured I would go out and get a new tree to work on.  I had originally planned to get a semi-established tree that I could work on straight away, but when Wendy (my wife) found this little gem, I couldn't say no.

It is a Buxus Harlandii, or Harland Boxwood.   Right now, it stands at just shy of 6 inches tall and as such, has a lot of growing to do before I do any major work on it.

The Harland Boxwood is native to china, and is quite often used as a bonsai subject.  It is a hardy plant that that withstand a lot of bending and can tolerate dryness very well, so is good for the warmer climates here in Australia.  The leaves are small and glossy, and with time and care should become even smaller.
