    Buxus Sempervirens box blight?

    Hi CBF Glad to hear that the Box is better! You could cut out some expense by just using Bacillus thuringiensis and a general-purpose fertiliser like Growmore

    Thank you. The 'pups' are grown-plant-size, either side of the main area, so trying to get them with roots is better than what appears to be cutting through, if I have that right?

    Another conifer question

    They are always brown inside its normal, as to the brown patches I'm not sure, but I've seen lots like it. I dont think it means the tree is dying, but I doubt the brown will ever cover up.
