    Yes, ideally spring and fall are best times to plant out trees, shrubs and landscaping projects.
    You certainly can complete your project now, but need to take extra care in maintaining watering to keep the plants alive, happy and through the heat.

    Try to avoid overly hot days if possible. Plant in mornings or evenings, at the coolest part of the days.

    Apply 3 to 4 inches of hardwood mulch to help with moisture control and to keep the roots cool. Keep the mulch from touching the bark of the shrubs and trees.

    You can put the crown slightly above soil level.

    This one is tricky... We need a little more information. The height, over-all compact-ness, fruit size (color, number) flower size, number, and color. With the boxwood (by the way, good job identifying as a boxwood, not a Japanese holly) There are many cultivars that are almost indistinguishable from one another. An alternate solution would be to get another Boxwood that resembles the one you have as closely as you can. It will be somewhat difficult to pinpoint, exactly, which one you have. I'm sorry I cannot be of any further assistance. Any other questions, feel free to shoot me an email at 6.schuster@gmail.com Thank You!

    I would recommend putting out some high nitrogen fertilizer along with some dolomitic lime to control pH. Here is an article that will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/shrubs/boxwood/boxwood-care.htm
