Box Blight

I have just taken out a small box hedge, approx 3 x 3 feet.  How soon will I be able to replant the area with a Trachleospernum jasminoides? Or indeed anything else?

    Box blight only affects plants from Buxacae genus so you should be OK to plant a Trachelospermum or anything else that does not belong to the box plant  group.

    I agree. The soil will need some improving before you plant.
    I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.

    Thank you both very much.  I will definitely improve the soil.
