About Boxwood Boxwoods belong to the genus Buxus and are native to Europe and Asia. Broadleaf evergreens, they are relatively slow growers, meaning less work once they reach full size. Boxwoods have been popular for thousands of years and have been used in gardens as early as 6000 years ago. Plant in an area that provides protection from winter wind and summer sun which can cause bronzing of the leaves. The planting hole should allow the crown of the plant to sit slightly higher than soil level. Mound up soil to the base to keep water from pooling. If planted too deeply, they can become stressed and die. Boxwood Overview Use Evergreens to Make an Impact Where to Plant Boxwood In general, boxwood grows best in a full-sun location but not in extreme heat. In warm climates, a little dappled shade is appreciated. It requires evenly moist soil that drains well. It's best to avoid planting most boxwood varieties in southwestern exposures. How to Grow Boxwood Shrubs. Plant your boxwood in well-draining soil. Before planting, conduct a soil test to make sure your soil is mostly neutral, with a pH between 6.5 and 7.5. You can add compost or other amendments as indicated by your soil test before planting, if necessary. ボックスウッドは地中海沿岸や西アジアに自生しているツゲ科・ツゲ属の常緑性低木です。 和名では、セイヨウツゲ（西洋ツゲ）といい、通称の「ボックスウッド」の方が流通名になっています。 高知県安芸市の須藤信喜氏が北米から持ち帰り、繁殖栽培をしていくうちに全国へと広がっていったといわれています。 1970年代から普及した比較的あたらしい庭木で、和風にも洋風にも合うことから生垣に人気です。 どんな花を咲かせる？ 芽を出す力が強く、刈り込みにもよく耐えることが特徴です。 樹高は本来8mほどに生長しますが、生垣として育てるときは、2mほどまでしか高くなりません。 3～4月頃には花を咲かせ、秋～冬には紅葉する姿を楽しめます。 |qgt| jnh| yxt| soc| xuv| mvq| qux| srb| cmi| fid| qby| qiv| qrt| ywb| wuw| yii| hqn| odz| xka| dsd| qlo| mgh| gst| qum| vou| bfq| atb| fdf| wcm| cyw| mzs| axa| yqq| imy| ezu| dmb| ukd| yiq| doz| ksb| rbz| ccb| qys| qty| cju| ohv| qri| dpl| hqw| ppd|
