Foxboro
Sapling
In the beginning of June, I bought a little boxwood from the big box store. Small pot, less than a gallon. I trimmed it up a bit and cleaned off browned leaves. I cut a few small branches here and there for a basic park tree shape. The tree didn't do much for a while but stayed nice and bright green. It seemed fine. I began fertilizing it with all my other plants and about mid/late July it began backbudding and growing new shoots from the pruned tips. It actually filled out quite well in a short period of time. Here we are going on late August in Florida. Very hot and humid. A couple of days ago I noticed that the new foliage is starting get kinda wavy and the new shoots are drooping as if were wilting. Almost looks like the foliage is "closing" up. Folding in toward the stem. The foliage is still nice and bright green aside from the remaining older foliage that is a little darker but neither have turned brown or anything. I've since moved to to a shady spot. Could the heat be too much for the new foliage? By pruning, then fertilizing, did I trigger new growth at a bad time?
