Box hedges have been a common feature in UK gardens for centuries. However in recent years, we’ve seen an increase in the pests and diseases that can decimate box hedging in as little as a few days.

If your garden is threatened by box blight or box caterpillar, take a look at these alternatives to box hedging, UK grown and available all year round.
