Guía de cuidados

Plant in partial shade or full sun in chalky, well-drained soil. Water regularly during dry spells. Feed in spring with organic fertilizer. Watch out for box tree moth and box blight — inspect regularly and act quickly if problems appear.

Consejos de poda

Trim twice a year for a crisp shape: late May and early September. Prune on an overcast day to prevent leaf scorch. Use clean, sharp tools to avoid spreading infections.
