Planting & Care

Planting Instructions for Green Mountain Topiary Boxwood (Ball)

  1. Site Selection: Choose a location that receives full to partial sunlight, with at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Boxwoods can tolerate some shade, but too much may cause thinning. Make sure the planting site has good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases, especially in humid areas.
  2. Soil Preparation: Green Mountain Boxwood prefers well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.5-7.5). Loosen the soil to about 12 inches deep and mix in organic matter such as compost to improve drainage and soil quality, especially if your soil is clay-heavy.
  3. Planting Depth: Dig a hole that is twice as wide and slightly shallower than the root ball. The top of the root ball should be level with or just above the surrounding soil. Elevating the plant slightly on a mound will ensure proper drainage, preventing the roots from sitting in water.
  4. Mulching and Watering: After planting, apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base of the plant, but keep the mulch a few inches away from the trunk to prevent rot. Mulch will help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Water thoroughly after planting, soaking the root zone deeply to help the roots establish.

Care Instructions for Green Mountain Topiary Boxwood (Ball)

  1. Watering: Water the plant regularly during its first year to help it establish strong roots. Deep watering once a week is typically sufficient, but you may need to adjust based on weather conditions. Ensure the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Once established, boxwoods are fairly drought-tolerant but will still appreciate occasional deep watering during dry periods.
  2. Fertilization: Apply a slow-release, balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) in early spring. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive growth, which may make the topiary harder to maintain. You can also use organic matter such as compost to improve soil nutrition.
  3. Monitoring: Watch for signs of stress, such as yellowing or browning leaves, which could indicate over- or under-watering or poor drainage. Also, monitor for pests like boxwood leafminers and spider mites, which can cause damage to the foliage. Early detection is key for effective treatment.

Maintenance and Long-Term Care for Green Mountain Topiary Boxwood (Ball)

  1. Pruning and Shaping: Regular pruning is essential for maintaining the topiary shape. Prune in late spring or early summer after the new growth has emerged. Use sharp shears to trim the plant back into its ball shape, and avoid cutting too deeply into the old wood, as boxwoods are slow to recover from severe cuts. Light touch-ups can be done throughout the growing season.
  2. Pest and Disease Control: Boxwoods are susceptible to pests like boxwood leafminers and scale. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or horticultural oils if necessary. Also, boxwood blight can be a concern in some regions—promote good air circulation by spacing plants adequately and avoid overhead watering to minimize leaf wetness.
  3. Seasonal Tasks: Add fresh mulch in the spring to conserve moisture and protect the roots. In colder climates (USDA zones 5-9), boxwoods may experience winter burn. Protect them by applying a thick layer of mulch at the base in the late fall, and consider using burlap wraps or windbreaks to shield them from harsh winter winds and direct sunlight.

Desirable rounded shape: Meticulously sculpted into a gorgeous sphere, this plant keeps it round shape with minimal trimming, adding symmetry and elegance to any landscape or garden design.

Vivid year-round color: Dense, rich green foliage remains vibrant in all seasons, providing constant visual interest.

Hardy and adaptable: Thrives in both sun and shade, tolerating a wide range of climates with minimal maintenance needed to keep its shape.
