Disclaimer: I don't know what I'm talking about.

I'm just a gardener and history-enthusiast, and I'm saddened that dwarf boxwood are being decimated all around the world. I'm not a scientist or researcher of any plant species. So many experts say 'just move on and plant something else'. But these plants are structurally and culturally integral to western gardens, at the least. I'm not letting go without honoring them.
