How Big Do Korean Boxwoods Get

The Korean boxwood grows to a height of around 2′ and a spread of 4–6′ at maturity.

How far apart do you plant Korean boxwood?

Avoid planting in winter. For hedges and foundation plantings, space the smaller Wintergreen boxwoods about 2-3 feet apart and the larger Korean boxwoods 3-4 feet apart. For tall hedges, place them a little farther apart; closer together for lower hedges. Japanese boxwood spacing should be at least 5-6 feet apart.

How do you shape a Korean boxwood?

As a rule of thumb, prune your boxwood lightly once or twice a year to achieve the desired shape, whether it’s a natural look, squared off hedge or topiary form. To prune, use either hand pruners or pluck or break stems with your fingers. Prune the entire hedge, including tops and sides.
