| Is it necessary to leave a stub when pruning boxwoods? |
Follow-Up Postings:

| No stubs are left on bonsai when pruning, unless you purposely leave an extra long one which you want to use as a 'jin' (broken off in a storm look) in future, or unless you're afraid of 'die-back' (sometimes a branch will die back an inch or so beyond where you've cut it - certain types - so stubs are left til they die and cut off in future). Boxwoods are ok to cut flush though. |
