About Boxwood Leafminer Management
Leafminers cause unsightly blistered patches on boxwood leaves by feeding within the foliage, weakening the plant over time. In Middle Tennessee areas like Franklin and Brentwood, effective management includes targeted applications of systemic insecticides such as Orthene and Merit, which control larvae inside the leaves. Timely treatment in early spring helps protect the dense evergreen shrubs commonly used for formal hedges and foundation plantings.
