Why People Choose Boxwoods

- They are adaptable, tolerating sun, partial shade, and a variety of soils.
- They are known for their long lifespan, often lasting decades.

Planting & Care Tips
- Planting location - Choose well-drained soil; avoid areas where water collects.
- Sun & shade - They thrive in partial sun but will tolerate full sun or light shade.
- Watering - Water deeply after planting and during dry spells. Let the soil dry slightly between waterings.
- Mulching - A layer of mulch helps conserve moisture and protect roots but keep mulch a few inches away from the trunk.
- Pruning - Light yearly pruning keeps them neat and encourages dense growth.
- Winter care - In windy or exposed areas, a burlap wrap can reduce winter leaf burn.
What To Know About Boxwoods
- Boxwood Blight - A fungal disease in overly wet or crowded plantings. Healthy, locally grown stock and good spacing help prevent it.
- Root Rot - Caused by poor drainage. Plant in soil that doesn’t stay soggy.
- Leafminer - An insect that may cause minor leaf damage. Regular monitoring and trimming keep it under control.
- Winter Burn - Sun and wind in late winter can bronze the leaves. Mulch and burlap wraps help protect plants.
