I am thinking about planting sprinter out in the front landscape area and thanks so much for giving me "ideas." Noelle. As always a fun & informative video!❤

I'm doing more and more boxwoods, because everything else is deer food. I have several varieties, and all are doing well. Most appreciative of this video. Thank you.

You always have great information! Hate that your nursery is so far from us.

Just planted four Green Gem boxwoods and this video seems to suggest that we made the right choice for our need and area. Thank you!

Hahaha!! @6:25 A fragrance, about a year or two ago I opened up my front door and got a whiff of that. I live in a condo and really didn't know anything about boxwoods or shrubbery.
I thought I had a problem with some of the cats that roam around the complex or my next door neighbor possibly dumping used kitty litter around the shrubbery.
I recently decided to look into gardening because the lawn care people do such a bad job with the shrubbery and they really need some extra help that they just don't provide. That's when I learned about boxwood and the fragrance and not having a cat problem.

I wish you could mention which ones do well in full sun and which ones do okay in shades. Thank you for the information. Very helpful

If you can't propagate anything with a trademark or registered mark, then what's the point in purchasing them? It may too expensive to purchase all the plants that you would need to fill in the space intended, ego the need for propagating. But if you propagate them, who would know anyway?

I’m zone 3-4 wish you told us the zone on all these boxwood. Lots of good information as I am going to be buying some soon.

[leiaflash]

'Boxwood in a nutshell' packed quite a bit of information! Thank you :) Can one transplant a small boxwood from a planter into the ground in early October?

[moomoon]

My boxwood leaves are dropping. Please any advice?

[semelvw]

What kind of boxwood I can plant in zone 3? Our winter is very harsh.

[mmgrooming]

Just transplanted 9 winter box wood from 5 gal containers into the ground. They were very green. I followed all planting guides. Now, two weeks later, some are turning color and looking shabby. What's wrong? What can I do to fix. Help, please. Thank you.

I have heard Korean boxwood does not have the smell like the English boxwoods. Is that correct?

[inquisitvem]

I need to replace my dead shrubs from Texas freeze of 2021. Is Japanese boxwood good for South East Texas? I’m a newbie to planting. Do you have vid on how to plant boxwoods? Thx.

[ckhayes]

love your videos! I have planted a row of green gem boxwoods 2 feet apart from each other. Is that too close? is it possible to keep them small ? (I am not trying to make a hedge) Appreciate your help!

[susantrombley]

Wish you’d tell us what zone each were. I’m a 3-4 zone
