This evening I managed to save 3 big Boxwoods from some guy who was extending his driveway. 2 have been chopped over a month ago and 1 is whole. 1 of the chopped was dug up last month and chucked on the piles of earth where he'd also dug his lawn up. The ends of the big branches are dead but I've scratched the base and the start of the thick branches and they're green inside so I'm hoping it'll bounce back. The other chopped one was dug up at the start of this month and chucked on the lawn, it has a huge clay chunk around the root ball and has started back budding already. The non chopped one was dug up last week and left on the concrete with little earth on the root ball. The ends of some of the leaves on the top and underneath have started to go yellow but again, I'm hoping this will bounce back once it's potted.
Conveniently, I have some pond baskets lying around I can put them in, my question is what would be the best substrate to use? I have a bit of this left over, but I'm worried that it may not be the best choice.
Also should I chop the unchopped one down or just leave it as is until spring?
Pictures to follow at some point tomorrow!
