Never Lose Another Boxwood - Master Gardener Secrets?
Boxwoods are an excellent addition to a formal landscaped garden. They really can be shaped into almost any design your heart can think of. They're know for being perfect in gardens, staying vibrant and green all throughout the year and even in the northern seasons. Boxwood's do require a certain amount of care and maintenance. Follow these easy steps to maintain beautiful boxwoods year round:
1. Avoid a mix and match boxwood hedge. If you have a boxwood hedge that needs replacement it is totally possible to have issue finding the exact same replacement to what you already got. This is a situation that you'd want to find some types with similar leaf. Boxes come in many different colors of green-so definitely look at what you have and what the nursery has and make some choices based on what will look good together. Otherwise you will end up with some very quick growing boxes that are lime green and some slow growers that are dark green and it will look like a mix and match nightmare!
2. Each area is different, so doing some research before drawing up plans for your new hedge designs is solid advice. Look for a boxwood that is a vigorous grower, drought tolerant and disease resistant. For example, Korean Boxwood is a variety that grows quickly,and is disease resistant in northern climates.
3. Your spring clean-up and maintenance for boxwood's starts with the addition of a 1/2 cup (per plant) of good organic, acidic fertilizer that has compost, peat, some special evergreen nutirents and dehydrated manure, mixed and spread out, around the base of your bushes. You are going to want to maintain good root coverage, so it's good idea to administer new dirt.
4. The process of boxwood pruning is a pretty forward thing with a couple rules worth knowing. One - let that precious spring growth firm up for a bit before you begin pondering of triming it down 1st second you have and don't, seriously, prune the buggers end of season. Simply put, in don't want to have all dead and brown patches in the spring, just don't do your pruning in the fall. Those big brown sections in your boxwoods is a no-no considering boxwoods are a winter green. Better they be a little shaggy than dead looking.
5. Because the root system of Boxwoods' are so shallow, they will dry out all the time. So remember, always mulch your boxwoods. This will protect their roots and help the roots retain moisture. Shy away from over-mulching as you could very well wind up killing your bushes due to bark rot from buried bases. Everything considered, discipline and moderation are even necessary when in the garden.
6.Keep an eye peeled for diseases and fungus problems on your boxwoods. Boxwoods are brawny for the most part, however, they are still at times subject to some problems. If you think that what you have is more than winter damage you will need to research boxwood's and disease. Whether your shrubs are dealing with a mold problem or an bug infestation, chances are it can be handled with a fungicidal spray or with an oil soap. Just make sure you diagnose the problem correctly before you start spraying chemicals all over the place. When all else seems hopeless, simply replace the bush that is causing problems right away. One plant is inexpensive to replace, an entire hedge gets really expensive.
Good luck and enjoy the lush evergreen of your boxes in your formal or not so formal landscape-they are always a great shrub choice for any garden.
