Dwarf Boxwood Yellowing: Nitrogen Deficiency Fix

Diagnosis

Yellowing of older inner leaves on dwarf boxwood indicates nitrogen deficiency.

Apply 10-10-10 fertilizer at 1 cup per bush, scattered around drip line, watered in.
Repeat in late summer.
Ensure soil pH 6.5–7.0 for nutrient availability.

Boxwoods are heavy feeders; annual fertilization maintains color.
