Buxus - BOXWOOD 
CULTURAL HINTS ON BOXWOOD 
Boxwoods thrive very well in partial shade and prefer 
not to be fully exposed to hot sun. They like leaf compost 
about their roots and are good feeders. Very well rotted 
cow manure is good, and raw bone-meal seems to keep 
them sturdy. They do not like to become dry about the 
roots though they should never be planted in a remaining 
wet spot. 
Lime and sulphur, ‘‘one gallon to 50 gallons of water,”’ 
sprayed over the entire plant in June, will control both red 
spider and boxwood wilt. Both of these can kill boxwood 
in a very short time. DDT will control box-leaf minor and 
your State Entomologist can best advise how to use the 
IB Bay 
Cut honeysuckle placed over and around boxwood in 
late fall will protect the box during the winter. This per- 
mits the air to circulate through the box, yet prevents the 
sun from shining on the foliage. Mulching should also 
be placed around the ground to keep roots from freezing. 
Remove the honeysuckle before new growth starts in 
spring.

and heat. It also stands and tolerates long dry spells 
without damage. There is no other boxwood like it 
and iS a rare gem.
