Growing & Maintenance Tips for Buxus sempervirens 'Piney Mountain'

If desired, prune Piney Mountain™ lightly in late winter or early spring to maintain desired habit.  Allow the plant to grow taller and more open to lessen issues with boxwood blight.  Thinning in early spring will help increase airflow and sunlight penetration into the interior of the plant which reduces the chance of disease.  Be sure to plant this cultivar in well-drained soil about 2-3” above original soil line.  

Piney Mountain™ is very resistant to boxwood leafminer and shows variable results in tolerance to boxwood blight.
