Plenty of roots. There are usually more, but I repotted a little sooner that I usually do, trying to get things on a schedule instead of doing it when it is a "do or die" situation. Kingsville Boxwood grow real slow up top, but it makes it up on the bottom, too bad it is hidden from view below the soil.
