One of the most suitable tools for trimming formal hedges is a good pair of garden shears or an electric trimmer. The American Boxwood can grow all the way up to 20 feet tall if not trimmed or trained. These simulated boxwood hedges can be used in a variety of settings outdoor as well as indoor. They were introduced to America in 1652 when Nathaniel Sylvester of Shetter Island (NW part of Long Island) New York received a shipment of Buxus sempervirens boxwood from Amsterdam to plant around the manor he built on his plantation.
Boxwood shrubs have tiny vibrant green evergreen leaves that look very clean and attractive if pruned regularly. If left untreated, the infestation can cause serious leaf loss and even result in the death of the boxwood. American Boxwood are used greatly for making hedges because of how well they respond to pruning.
The glacial era is blamed for wiping out boxwood in England, as evidence of pollen grains were found in charcoal that dated back to 2000 BC. It is said that the Romans re-established boxwood in England where it now has become naturalized and is considered a native there.
The American Boxwood is easily the most versatile and useful Boxwood when it comes to creating outdoor plants. All boxwood shrubs have broad, shallow roots, so you have to be careful not to cultivate very closely around them as the digging and planting might cause damage to their fragile root system.
And instead of putting the evergreen artificial ivy, you can use the artificial boxwood hedge made of artificial azaleas or artificial bougainvilleas for a more floral effect. Another reason why many gardeners are looking to add the boxwood to their lawn space is because of the small flowers of the bush.
In first century BC in Greece, wealthy Romans not only graced their villas with boxwood moth plantings, often in topiary form, but also chose this spectacular hard wood to make assorted boxes, both decorative and practical, hand-carved ornaments, flutes, utensils, wood overlay, combs and tablets.
Fifteenth century Europe used boxwood for engraving and printing because boxwood was thought to be the best wood for molds due to its ability to keep detailed designs so well. Some of the commonly used varieties include American Boxwood, English Boxwood, Korean Boxwood and Green Velvet Boxwood.
There are over 150 cultivars of boxwood that are registered and approximately 115 cultivars and species that are available. The most commonly used boxwood varieties are English Boxwood, Green Velvet Boxwood and American Boxwood. American Boxwood shrubs are extremely dense, and they become denser if you trim them.
The creation of fake boxwood can duplicate the effect of a natural hedge or a trimmed hedge. Leafminer is the larva of a small, orange tiny fly that is less than 1/8 inch long and can be seen swarming around the boxwood in the spring. The azaleas are a little more work than the boxwood was; we water them through the summer and apply acid once or twice a year.
