Default [IBC] Kingsville Repotting

When do you all think is the best time to repot
kingsville boxwood "mid march?". Mine has been
mulched all winter i am in zone 6 \it is protected
from wind. Daytime temp's are just starting to peak
into the high 40's to low 50's. Most night time temps
range from 15 degrees to about 40 degrees.


Despite so many books, you do NOT report by calendar months. You
repot when the weather (and the trees) are ready. Nighttime
temperatures should be consistently ABOVE freezing -- and more
than 33 degrees F, also. You should be able to see swelling buds
on the tree.
