Boxwood Shaping & Hedge Trimming (Buxus sempervirens)
Boxwood (Buxus sempervirens) is a popular choice for homeowners and property managers looking for a versatile and hardy shrub. Known for its dense foliage and ability to be shaped into various forms, boxwood is often used for hedges, topiaries, and borders. However, maintaining its aesthetic appeal and health requires regular shaping and trimming. This article will guide you through the essentials of boxwood shaping and hedge trimming, ensuring your plants remain vibrant and well-manicured.
