Even the slight swelling that might occur when exposed to moisture can be minimized by painting the wood. Maple Water newly planted shrubs regularly for the first year, especially during hot, dry weather. In their second year, root systems are still developing, so continue to water regularly if rainfall isn’t enough. Once established, they’re quite drought tolerant and only need extra watering during dry spells.

Diseases and pests: Choose from brass, chrome, copper, rust, plywood, oak, walnut as well painted and powder coated finishes.When trimming boxwood, don’t overdo it. While a nice, compact bush may look healthy on the outside, that dense outer foliage (caused from over pruning) can keep air and light from getting to the inner part of the plant. Thin the outer growth annually so that air and light can get in, and prune away any dead or diseased branches from the center of the plant. Shearing can be done with hand pruners, hedge clippers or electric trimmers. Winter care:

What is boxwood blight?Comments: It’s a shame that the term ‘boxwood’ has become so convoluted and confused in modern times, as there seems to be one particular wood species that has historically been associated with the name boxwood: Buxus sempervirens.

This box has 60 x 40 x 8 cm (aprox 15" by 23" by 3" tall) and you can make it any size you want but I recommend not making it too shallow so you can get a better light refraction inside the box.

For the material I am using 10mm plywood that is going to be joined with 45º miters with internal splines for reinforcement but you can use solid wood or 1/2" or 3/4" plywood that you might have laying around.
