Buxus Browning(Bronzing)
I have a small three year old Box hedge forming a circle in my front garden which has started to have fair size areas of bronzing or browning leaves. The leaves don't appear to be falling off. What should I feed the hedge with to bring the colour back ?
On plant
Buxus sempervirens

As well as Dr.Bobs advice. Give it a light feed of Growmore next Spring . The browning is really a protective device by the trees to harden the foliage against adversity.

Are the roots exposed? if so mulch to cover all the roots. Dress close to the root area with Epson salts now and then again in March.
