Product Information

Pheromone traps, can indicate whether there are moths in the areaand their level of activity. These areavailable from several suppliers including Agralan, Dragonfli and Solabiol Of course, as with growing box trees in the ground, the growing medium should be your first concern. Initial symptoms are the delayed emergence of new growth. Patches of wilted and discoloured leaves increase in size before falling from the plant. Spores masses that often appear underneath the leaves in wet or humid conditions are pink rather than white for box blight. Treatment

If plants are in the ground and nutrients are required, apply a balanced fertiliser in the autumn to allow take up through the roots during the winter which will give natural growth in the spring. Buxus sempervirens has dense, small, round, dark evergreen leaves with an average growth rate of approx 10-15cm per annum. When you buy box hedging, it should be trimmed in late spring with hand garden shears, keeping the blade of the shears parallel to the hedge surface. For an even more low growing hedge, try Dwarf Box Hedging Plants (Buxus sempervirens Suffriticosa), or view our incredible selection of low growing hedging plants for more options and inspiration. Box TopiaryFull details of all our delivery prices are listed here. What happens if I am not in when the courier delivers my parcel? The caterpillars have a range of natural enemies, including parasitoid flies, parasitoid wasps, social wasps, spiders and ants As you can see from the above, feeding box trees is a simple process that differs when growing in the ground compared with container cultivation. As part of our research, the RHS would like to know where box tree moth has been seen. Please submit your records via our box tree moth survey (expected time to complete survey = two minutes).

It is therefore important to ensure that our box trees get the nutrients they need to stay healthy; feeding Buxus well can help with this.Which Products Should I Use for My Plants?A common question asked by our customers is which plant feeds or fertilisers they should use around their garden. Below is some useful information from our experts. Early diagnosis and plant care are key to controlling Volutella blight. Unlike box blight full plant recovery can be expected if cultural conditions are improved. This includes the removal of diseased branches when foliage is dry and old leaves from the interior of infected plants. Destroy the debris and wipe clean cutting tools with a suitable disinfectant to prevent the spread of further disease. An application of Top Buxus, high in nitrogen for strong growth and sulphur a natural fungicidal agent to defend against blight will benefit the plant. Control & Prevention
