Boxwood Blight Treatment

Protect your boxwoods from fungal disease

Protect your boxwoods from fungal disease.

Thanks to their dense, attractive foliage, resistance to deer and versatility in everything from home gardens to formal hedges, boxwoods are some of the most popular shrubs in the world. Unfortunately, since 2011, collections have been devastated by a common fungal disease called boxwood blight.

Infected plants show symptoms including dark leaf spots, brown blotches, and black cankers on the stems. Over time, repeated defoliation and dieback can kill the plant and leave them more susceptible to insects. Our ArborBuxus treatment can help these plants recover and resist the disease.

Introducing ArborBuxus                                                          

While this disease arrived fairly recently to the United States, it has been ravaging European boxwoods since the 1990s. SavATree works with the world's largest boxwood grower to provide a unique fertilizer that meets the nutritional requirements of boxwoods to help them both recover from and resist this disease.

Our treatment regimen, ArborBuxus, comes in two forms:

ArborBuxus Restore

The ideal treatment for actively infected boxwoods. This rescue nutrient application fortifies boxwoods, helping them to recover from diseases like boxwood blight.

ArborBuxus Maintain

The easiest way to ensure that healthy boxwoods stay that way. This blend helps to keep boxwoods in optimum health increasing resistance to disease and insect attacks. Longtime SavATree customer Martha Stewart has been a huge advocate of this treatment and has seen some great results with boxwoods on her lovely property.

Great company with very knowledgeable arborists who love plants! Wonderful to do business with. I had used our general landscaping business prior for tree and bush trimming and this is 3 heads above in skill. Would highly recommend to anyone who cares about their outdoor plantings!

Another fantastic job by Monty's crew! Because of their previous tree maintenance, my trees survived a direct hurricane hit. This time they trimmed the dead branches and cleaned up the debris so the trees and yard looks better than ever!

I have been using SaveATree for several years. They literally did save a tree for me; a pine tree that was dying and needed more than water to recover. Then they began pruning my trees after storm damage with professional results. The trees thrived. Now I am on a schedule for nutrition and disease control along with regular pruning. Colorado wind, hail, snow, altitude and soil has a profound...

Mr. Amoto (now Mr.Amoto/SavATree) has been my go-to tree company for around 15 years. They’ve taken care of tree trimming and tree removal in hard-to-get-to places. It’s been a pleasure to work with Matt Boyd and his crew over the years.

I am posting this for my mom in Boulder, CO: They have lit our 50 foot linden trees two years in a row. The pictures cannot do it justice. It’s absolutely beautiful. The staff is so helpful and kind. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

Nick was an amazing arborist and unbelievable amount of knowledge. They did everything agreed upon in a timely manner and left my yard better than they found it with cleanup. Will absolutely use them again in the future. Thank you

Ashley and her tree trimming crew, lead by Neil, did a great job working around the needs of our neighbors to gain road passage to/from their homes. They were responsive to our changing tree cutting needs, very professional and cost effective. We received quotes from numerous other tree services that were two to SIX times more expensive. Start your quote process with SavATree. You'll find...
