Haveselskabet (Gardener’s Council) heralds the end of the boxwood plant in Denmark

One of the most common garden plants, boxwood (the green plant you trim in any shape you want) is facing extinction in Denmark. According to the association, “in recent years, a new pest – the boxwood moth – has also come to Denmark, which unfortunately is becoming more and more widespread and leaves the plants stripped and without leaves. You can be lucky to have boxwood that has not yet been attacked. If your plants are not affected, you can easily keep them and hope for the best.”
