How To Plant Green Pillar Boxwood
You've brought your Green Pillar Boxwood home and now it's time to get planting. Start by choosing a location that offers anywhere from 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 considering the process of watering your Green Pillar Boxwood don't worry we have you covered. When first planted we recommend watering at a minimum of twice a week making sure to quench your shrubs thirst. Once established the Green Pillar Boxwood does provide tolerance to drought however it would be within your best interest to continue 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
When it comes time to feed your Green Pillar Boxwood no need to worry it's as easy as can be. When first planting we recommend adding fertilizer to the planting site as the first feeding. If you planted during the spring re-apply fertilizer in late fall before the dormancy of winter. If you planted in fall, wait till spring before the push of new growth to fertilize your shrub. Remember these steps for the life of the plant and you will continue to have lavish foliage each year.
How To Prune
So you've planted your Green Pillar Boxwood and it's time to consider the pruning process. Well you are in luck, due to the tight upright growth habit of this shrub pruning is almost non existent. Accepting pruning almost any time of the year, if you so choose to clean up the edges a little a lightsheer of the new growth will be adequate, however make sure not to prune too deep as doing so may cause a bald spot and disrupt the beauty of the tree.
