[IBC] Wintering my boxwoods and other stuff - Zone 7
 

Question 5: Where ARE you? We cannot advise until we know
where
you live and how cold it gets there.


I am in Nashville, TN which i think is Zone 7, hence the title
on my
post.

Yup. I should read a little closer; shows how much subjects
count for, I guess.


Winter low temps here average around 20 degrees with a January
sometimes getting down to the 'teens and on unusual years as
low as 0
but that's rare.

Boxwoods don't need that much protection in Zone 7. Here in the
chilly end of 8, I keep mine on the table all winter, giving them
NO protection. On coldest nights, you might just mulch tree and
pot in under a pile of oak leaves.
