Digging Boxwood with Root Ball for Higher Survival! 🌱

Want to transplant boxwood successfully without losing the plant? The secret is all in how you dig it up! 🪴 In this video, we show the careful process of “root ball digging” – the key to helping your plants thrive after moving.

Watch as we gently dig around the boxwood, keeping the root system and surrounding soil intact. 🌿 No harsh yanking – just patience and precision. Once the root ball is shaped, we lift it out carefully, ready for transport or replanting.

Why does this matter? A good root ball protects delicate feeder roots from drying out or breaking. 🌱 It reduces transplant shock and gives the plant a much better chance to establish quickly in its new home. Whether you’re a gardener or landscaper, this technique is essential!
