1.  Planting site should have good drainage.

2.  Boxwood will grow in most soils. Avoid heavy clay. Amend soil, if needed, with silt, sand, or an organic material.

3.  Fertilize the first week of March with a balanced, slow release fertilizer (such as 10-10-10).   Established Boxwood should not need fertilizer unless a deficiency is apparent.

4.  Prune after new growth becomes woody (early June). New growth will appear again in the middle of August.
