Galileo discovered from the movement of sunspots that the Sun rotates on its own axis, and each revolution takes about an earth month. However, because the Sun is fluid not solid, it spins faster at its equator (27 days) than at the poles (35 days).
Boxwood is considered to be a low-maintenance shrub, but certain practices are recommended to keep the plants healthy. The fall is the best time for boxwood planting and mulching, while the winter is the ideal time for pruning, thinning, and protection. Boxwood can be planted in the spring, which is also the time for monitoring insects. Inspection of plants for insects should continue in the summer, during which time there should be attention to weed control and the watering needs of the plants.
Shade protects certain boxwood from becoming orange in winter. Although boxwood will grow in full sun, some varieties are prone to losing their green color. Spring renews the green, and the only way to prevent the color change is to supply the boxwood with more shade.Most boxwood prefer to grow in part shade. Certain ones will tolerate greater amounts of shade.For example, Green Mountain -- a hybrid that grows 3 to 5 feet tall -- can tolerate nearly full shade. It will not grow as well or develop as much fullness as it would in its preferred sun to partial-shade conditions.lthough boxwood will grow in full sun, some varieties are prone to losing their green color.
