I noticed this year all my boxus plants have whitish edges on their leaves. Could you please advise if there is a problem with my plants. I recently planted all of them into the ground. They used to be in pots for few years.
Just from the photo, I'd have said you had an interesting 'variegated' variety (quick - offer it - 'extremely rare' - on well-known auction site!). Looks in excellent health otherwise. Can't think of anything other than a bit of cold getting to the tips and extremities. Then again it's supposed to be very hardy, but you so often see them with brown areas.
If a buxus plant is unhappy, it usually makes this known through the
colour of its leaves. White, cream or yellow tips or borders to the
leaves are a common sign of stress, especially in young recently
transplanted plants and pot-bound older plants. The leaves will become
uniform green again when the growing conditions improve or are improved.
Am I allowed to say - though it's 'Box', the latin is 'Buxus' (now I've mentioned it then it will give the forum search something to find when anyone looks up 'Buxus').
