| I have about a dozen young boxwood's. Not more than 18" in diameter. Although it rarely freezes here in Sacramento, CA. I was wondering if there is anything I should be doing for them for the winter. Currently our day temps are mid 50's and night high 30's. Is it too late for me to give them 12-6-6 fertilizer? I read that this can be done spring or fall. And since we don't really get a winter here in the valley, I was thinking I could still feed them. I put them in the ground a week ago.. Thanks! |

| Don't feed in the winter; first feeding should be in Feb. or March. You don't want new growth to come on when it's cold.... We've been known have light freezes in winter. |

| Make certain you water the ROOTBALLS as needed for the next several years. |
