How to Overwinter Boxwood in Winter

Reasonable maintenance of boxwood

Reasonable maintenance is not only for winter, but also for the whole year. Only reasonable irrigation and fertilization can enhance the resistance of boxwood itself. This is the most basic rule for wintering.

Setting up wind barriers for boxwood

The wind in winter is very cold. Setting up wind barriers on the outside of the boxwood can not only prevent the wind, but also have a certain warming effect.

Boxwood trunk treatment

There is no need to say much about tree trunk treatment. Whether it is boxwood or other plants, the most commonly used wintering method is to whitewash the trunk or wrap the trunk.

Wintering with Boxwood Base Covering

This method is generally used in boxwood forests or boxwood bases, covering the ground with horse manure, plastic film or hay to help them overwinter.

Wintering with Fumigation Method in Boxwood Base

It is also suitable for large boxwood forests or boxwood bases. On winter nights, we light haystacks next to the boxwood forest and use the smoke to keep the boxwood warm and moist. Although this method is simple and feasible, it is quite risky. In winter when the weather is dry, it is easy to cause a fire, so you must pay attention to safety when fumigating.
