How often should I water boxwood shrubs?
During their first growing season, water newly planted boxwoods weekly with 1–2 inches of deep soaking to ensure the shallow roots stay consistently moist. Once established, reduce watering frequency and allow the top 2–3 inches of soil to dry out between waterings, as mature boxwoods are moderately drought-tolerant. However, provide a deep, thorough soaking during dry summer spells and late fall before the ground freezes for winter.
How and when should I prune boxwood shrubs?
Prune or shear boxwoods in late spring or early summer after new spring growth has hardened off. Use hand pruners to selectively thin outer branches for light and airflow, while lightly trimming outer foliage to maintain desired shapes. Avoid trimming in late summer or fall, as late growth will freeze and turn brown during winter.
