    AI Overview
    The Chinese box tree (Buxus harlandii or microphylla), popular in Chinese garden bonsai, features small, dark green leaves and a rugged, slow-growing, mature bark. These, especially aged examples like the 142-year-old found at Cedar Lakes Woods and Gardens, are prized for their thick trunks, dense, dense canopy, and ability to grow in shady spots. 
    Key Characteristics and Care: 
    • Appearance: Known for a thick, wrinkled trunk that appears very old, with small, glossy foliage.
    • Placement: Prefers a sunny outdoor location but is adaptable to semi-shaded environments. They can be kept indoors, provided there is enough light and it is in a cool area during winter.
    • Watering: Requires regular watering during the summer.
    • Soil: Use a free-draining soil mix, such as equal parts akadama, pumice, and lava rock.
    • Pruning/Styling: Slow-growing with a dense, bushy shape. Regular pruning throughout the growing season maintains the design.
    • Repotting: Generally repotted every two years in spring. 
    Boxwood bonsai are generally regarded as slow-growing, requiring delicate care and careful wiring to avoid damage, as they do not wire well, as discussed by experts on Facebook.
