I have one boxwood now. For me in the Wash DC area it is so difficult to grow them. Seem to dry out so much and grow so slow. I am now trying to grow a starter plant from my tree from a branch that broke off. I put rooting hormone on it and placed it in a shot glass of water with indirect light outside. I have been unsuccessful in growing these trees for years now.
