The algae is probably lichen it poses no harm to the tree
I fact some people keep it on there to give the tree a more aged look.
The only thi by it might do is stain the bark
And I recommend you not peel the bark off
The bark is there to protect against pests.

Damage was done by the Nursery. You should go back and try to get your money back, or a replacement. Your tree is not dead, but you will spend time and resources getting it healthier. Algae is unlikely to be the problem, but an indication of bad soil / overwatering.

You have to:

1) untangle the roots
2) change the soil to something with much better drainage and less organic. (I really like crushed pumice)
3) Let it heal

I have had the tree for two weeks now. I just pruned, re-potted and trimmed. It will be in the shade for two weeks to give it some rest. When should I begin fertilizing?

Too bad i only now see this post.

There is no reason to believe there is anything wrong with the plant. Akgea often forn when a nursery has lots of plant oon the bench. Everything stays moist. Just care for it as normal allow air circulation and you should be fine.

What worries me is the repotting and trimming now. We are near winter, whixh is an unneeded risk. Do not ferrilize till spring. Temps are dropping below temps facilitating nutrient uptake.

I just re potted and pruned the Japanese Boxwood about one weeks ago. It's been in the shade now for a week, this week will mark two weeks. I'm going to be getting it back into the sun soon. I'm in Florida and our growing season is pretty much year round with a slow down in our "winter". When would the appropriate time be to start fertilizing?
