Chris and Marie’s Plant Farms mass produce English Box and sell it at the cheapest price in Melbourne

  The secret to making perfect English Box borders and hedges is to space your English Box closely. Often people plant their English Box too far apart and they eng9.jpg (18582 bytes)take forever to fill in. English Box tend to shoot upward instead of outward when they are younger. If English Box is spaced too far apart there will be upside down U shaped gaps at the bottom of the hedge. One old English gardening book said to plant English Box 1 inch apart. At Chris & Marie’s Plant Farms we have found over the years that planting English Box at the rate of 5 per metre will create a dense bushy border in just a few years without making it unnecessarily expensive to establish a border.eng3.jpg (15317 bytes)

To get the best growth from your English Box test your pH and if it is below 6.5 use plenty of ground agricultural limestone. This is particularly important if English Box is planted in a commercial potting mix. Then top dress regularly with dynamic lifter or Devotion™ Time Release Fertiliser. Water well in summer and keep the base of your hedge free of grass and weeds.
