How To Plant Green Pillar Boxwood
Green Pillar Boxwood prefers a location that offers full sun to partial shade. The Green Pillar Boxwood offers adaptability to most soils, allowing you to plant in most locations that offer well drained soil. Although this shrub does offer drought tolerance once established, it would be wise for the health of the shrub to water during those periods. Keeping a tight growth habit means minimal to no maintenance is required, allowing you to enjoy this shrub with minimal effort.
How To Water
When first planted, we recommend giving your Green Pillar a deep and thorough watering. For ongoing care in the first year, we suggest watering at a minimum of twice a week, making sure to quench your shrub's thirst. Once established, the Green Pillar Boxwood does provide tolerance to drought, however, it would be within your best interest to supplement watering as to not stress your shrub too much. We recommend keeping an eye on your local weather and watering accordingly during periods of high heat or drought to ensure the happiness of your shrub.
How To Fertilize
While planting, we recommend applying the Bower & Branch Elements Starter Plant Food. This will ensure your plant has all it needs for a healthy growing season! For ongoing care, it's best to feed in spring.
How To Prune
Due to the tight and upright growth habit of the Green PIllar, pruning is almost non existent! If you would like to shape your Boxwood, you should do so after the last frost. If you prune before then, you run the risk of burning any new foliage that may emerge.
