Eugene's boxwood progression

[eugenev2]

This is to record the progression of my boxwood development, but also to get advice. I know it probably won't be a top bonsai one day, but i makes me feel like i am looking at a full grown tree, which is important to me. I chose picture one as the front, but recent root discoveries has made me wonder whether i made a mistake. So any suggestions/opinions go ahead

I chose picture one as the front, but recent root discoveries has made me wonder whether i made a mistake.

We rarely get all the best features of a tree lining up in one single perfect front. Front/viewing angle is more often a compromise between the best of all the features depending on teh species and your personal preferences. Sometimes the not quite best nebari should be chosen because the trunk and branches are better from that side. For trees that are known for nebari you may choose slightly less perfect branch arrangement in order to highlight the nebari.

That root system is very uneven. Not uncommon in commercial grown stock. The high roots will make it harder to style a vertical trunk tree but may give you the opportunity to get away from the vertical trunk you currently have. Are there any decent roots further down on the opposite side of the trunk? If so, tilting the trunk is a good way to change the trunk line and even up nebari. Try tilting the trunk in the direction of the higher roots then check if any existing branches might become a good trunk (chop existing trunk)
If that's not possible or desirable you can try to grow new roots to match the current higher ones or a new set above the existing roots.
I've found that removing high roots is not usually a viable option as the trunk has usually swelled where the high roots attach. Looks like this one has too. Removing those roots leaves inverse taper.

Your Buxus exhibits the usual clusters of branches that make it frustrating to turn them into good bonsai.
