Default [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.
