Healthy Kingsville are remarkably hardy--especially if they originate from a group that has undergone 50 winters. );-) But why bother, since it does not need dormancy, just a little cooling down in the fall? If you bring it indoors in September or October, you have that much more of a growing season. I have had mine that way for ten years, and no complaints.

I have attempted twice to grow Kingsville boxwood as bonsai. Each time the plant seems to be thriving for about ~6 months and then suddenly begins to die off, a section at a time. It turn brown and once it begins to decline there is seemingly, no way to reverse the decline. I have assumed it might be a fungal infection and treated the plants with merit fungicide. There does not seem to any insect damage or root damage.We are located a half block from the ocean, but others have grown them successfully here. What's the solution short of giving it up a loss cause? Depends on several things: 1) where do you live? 2) where do you keep the tree? Does it stay outdoors all year or come in for the winter? 3) What time of year does the trouble begin? 4) Can the problem be that they are not receiving enough light, or too much water? I have several kingsvilles in southern NY state that stay outside until about Thanksgiving time. I keep them in 3/4 shade. When I bring them in they go under fluorescent lights, very close to the light. They do quite well that way. Iris Cohen has been doing the same with her kingsville for a number of years with similar success to mine. That's where I got the encouragement to bring them in for the winter since they're not hardy here.
