Question: how to transplant japanese boxwood?
Answer: Dig a 4- to 6-inch-wide and 8- to 10-inch-deep trench around the boxwood no closer than 6 to 8 inches from the trunk. Dig beneath the root ball until you loosen it from the soil, then lift at the base of the trunk and gently place the root ball on a tarp or in a wheelbarrow.
