RE: box for southern columbia county

Have a friend with garden edged with korean box. Some years OK, some years a lot of sun scald or winter kill on top. Might pay to cover it with burlap as winter protection.
Great country up there and you have a terrific nursery in nearby Claverack. Take a look at the web site for Loomis Creek Nursery www.loomiscreek.com
