    Boxwood Handbook

    A Practical Guide to Knowing and Growing Boxwood

Boxwood is a familiar shrub in many parts of the United States and Europe, but is still not well understood.

Professionals search for accurate and detailed information to make horticultural decisions. This book is for all of these individuals. It provides boxwood cultural information that is practical, technical, and authoritative in a useful and understandable form with 91 color photographs. It describes what is necessary to successfully select and propagate boxwood, to control pests and diseases, and, in particular, to give appropriate care.  122 pages. $27.00

3rd Edition, 123 Pages, 91 color photos
