The "boxwood man" in Richmond is an expert and knows precisely how to trim boxwoods, many of which grow to 12 feet or more here in the South. He disinfects his tools and makes his workers do the same. But the regular gardener...?? Many people think their usual gardener is qualified to trim the boxwoods. They do so (not pretty) and then bring their dirty tools to another house. You MUST speak with your regular gardeners and stand by with a bucket of bleach when they drive up.GRC_Ltdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02563860284455909192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959215552614212117.post-41403258961990477722017-02-25T14:41:58.127-06:002017-02-25T14:41:58.127-06:00hi karen!!

I removed about 4 and had to replace them. I don't believe it was canker or blight. They just look like they're struggling so I cut some of the bush and hope they rebound this spring. I'll be watching for the 2 diseases you mention. <br />xo,<br />KarenKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08064699521293763744noreply@blogger.com
