Blight is a fungal disease that causes the leaves of boxwoods to become spotted and then turn brown. This fungal disease causes massive defoliation on infected specimens. There is no known cure for this problem; infected plants and roots must be removed and discarded, not composted.
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.
