One of the most popular ornamental shrubs are boxwoods and has the potential for good profit. Also known by the name buxus outside the United States, boxwoods have become a best seller for many growers over the past few years. The popularity of topiary plants has resulted in a production bottleneck, especially in countries like South Africa. This means nurseries that grow evergreen, perennial plants like buxus can rely on steady sales year-round. This is especially important during the winter when sales of summer flowering perennials or annuals are at a minimum, allowing growers to even out income during quiet periods.

In this video we are going to take a look at how a commercial nursery grows boxwoods. The great thing about boxwoods is that they are easy to propagate from stem cuttings, so even if you don’t have a nursery, with a little planning you can grow your own boxwood hedges for almost nothing compared to buying them from garden centres.
