Kingsville Boxwoods make a very enchanting shohin size bonsai forest. Buxus Microphylla or kingsville boxwood is an evergreen dwarf cultivar from the japanese boxwood. The naturally tiny and thickly bunched leaves and a slow growing habit make it a natural for shohin bonsai forest.
In our class we will create a 7 tree forest with kingsville boxwood plants of various sizes. The addition of a special humidity tray has been the key to keeping our shohin alive and relatively stress free all year long.
Some people are a bit hesitant when the word shohin is mentioned in the context of maintaining one or more in their own collections. We have been very successful growing shohin throughout the extremes of Central Texas weather and we are going to include those techniques with this class
