This video discusses the disease sensitivity of boxwood.
Other differences - which are not covered in this video - are :
- Soil preference (Ilex = acidophilic, boxwood = lime-loving)
- Root system (Ilex does not like roots that are permanently wet)
Boxwood gardens are increasingly becoming the victim of pests such as the boxwood caterpillar / boxwood moth.
A good alternative as a replacement for boxwood is the Ilex crenata, which does not suffer from the caterpillar and can equally well serve for all kinds of applications in the garden.
In addition, boxwood also suffers easily from various fungal diseases, especially in Western Europe where it rains regularly. Ilex crenata Blondie and Dark Green, on the other hand, are completely disease resistant.
Because of the strong health of Ilex crenata it is no longer necessary to check plants frequently for insects and also not necessary to apply all kinds of pesticides frequently in your garden - in contrast to Buxus where this is frequently necessary to keep the plant free of pests and diseases. The animals in your garden are also better off with Ilex in your garden, and the birds do not die by eating poisoned caterpillars.
Ilex Select is known as a brand name for Ilex crenata Dark Green and Blondie. These plants are the result of carefully selected Ilex seedlings that are protected by licence. Dark Green and Blondie guarantee high quality, uniformity and authenticity.
