a few tips on looking after large specimen buxus sempervirens (box). when to cut how often to cut 'pulling out' watering feeding hard pruning 1080hd available from setting selection.
perfection, have to find a cool day not to hot where I live... It gets quite warm in Spring and can make it uncomfortable to prune and trim real fast. Last season I trimmed it was quite hot out. The next day we had snow and freezing weather. It was April 23rd😕. I sustained branch damage to one of my boxwoods and now will have to replace it next spring sadly. It is 16 years old, I have a matching boxwood on the other side that has been recovering from damage for about 8 years so I will finally get a new pair. I have 6 total boxwood balls and two walls, I hope to find a good match. I am thinking the Winter Gem Boxwood will make a close match. Cheers, I love your work it is precise and you have a great finishing result!
So envious of your box ! I just lost seven of mine to caterpillars ,, and another five are on their way out so in my next garden I will use yew or lavendar or Something similar ,,,,,
Stephanie Murray The Yew is a very pretty specimen! I like the Korean Gold Plum, it has a unique color. I also have an eye on the Orange Rocket Barberry, they have such amazing color. I too lost a box and am seeing last years Winter damage to several other boxes. I did not identify it early enough. I discovered discoloration now in October 2019 and it was from Winter 2018. There are ulcers that did not fully close on small and main branches, the small branches are not a problem the main branches will create massive holes😞. I am bummed that I missed it. I thought I had a fungal issue and was treating them foliar throughout the summer. Ms Stephanie, I hope you fully recover from your loss. Blessings to you, From Illinois wishing you the best - Joel.
@@justordinaryeverydaylife7977 Hi, thank you for your imput,I will look into these spécimens. I had heard of box disease then saw a video on moth and catterpillar infestation and one of the signs was the presence on Caterpillar poop !! When I checked my plants out they were full of poop. I haven't yet found a treatment for this. I am moving to a house whose established garden is all box hedged in so I am nervous about taking my surviving box to the new house, at the same time I Don't want to destroy what are for now fairly healthy plants. In the new garden I will have to move a lot of the old box to make way for paths and a paved terrace so I will check it all then for disease and insects. Best wishes from France , Stephanie
Mate your the bollocks at your job! The 1st time I've seen a video or anything for that matter explaining watering.. just saying water thoroughly means nothing to us people who have zero knowledge and are looking to grow healthy box so a big thanks for being specific in that regard! 👌 I've just planted some container grown buxus sempervirens for a hedge. Plants are only like 6 for £20 small(around 8/9inch high 5/6inch wide.. How often and how much watering would these need. Any advice would be massively appreciated.
U are suppose to hard prune (to reduce the size of a shrub) during early spring? Or in the fall? I was told the fall time….I live in New Jersey (next to New York in the USA), thanks!!! :). I’m attempting to do my own landscaping since last year the professionals ended up killing 4 of my shrubs :(
