I think it's called buxus microphylla 'aureus' aka golden kingsville boxwood

Are you positive it's not called a dead Boxwood........

maybe we should call it - buxus microphylla 'mortem' then....

 

[shohin kid]

what happened to it???

 

[Tiberious]

Thats a shame, this was a nice boxwood! I would also like to know; what in the world?

 

[buddhamonk]

not sure. We did have a rough winter but all my trees made it ok. I did repot this year sometime in March. Weather was perfect, no frost/freeze, just a typical northwest spring. But it never formed new buds and just started to dry out. I have another boxwood that's even bigger and that one is doing fine.

Thats really too bad. I don't see too many boxwoods that catch my eye like this one. Oh well, not much you can do, sometimes they just up and die for no apparent reason. Weve had about the same winter temperatures for the last 3 years but for some reason my wisteria just died on me this year, sucks. Atleast you have other boxwoods that are doing well and sometimes death is a blessing because it means there is now room for one more tree in your collection

Hey... at least your sagina moss didn't die...

Seriously though... it's sad to see a good tree go....

Love that.. I'd own any tree with death in the name.
