In my dream garden (which I WILL have one day) I want a formal garden lined with a short Boxwood hedge. I drew this garden out the other day and I am going to need a TON of boxwoods. How does one propagate Boxwood?

You can simply take cuttings and force them to root... this is a very long long long process. They are slow growing... my neighbor wanted to do the same thing.

After research and the amount of time going in for him to save the money, he broke down and bought 5 bushes... next year he says he will buy 10... so on and so on.

But if you have time and patience.... a little root hormone goes a long way!!!

:D

Thanks. I guess I may have to do this in stages since I may need a few hundred bushes.
