Features
Boxwood has long been a staple in American landscapes, and now it offers even greater reliability. NewGen boxwoods have undergone extensive testing by the leading boxwood growers in North America, Saunders Brothers, demonstrating their ability to resist the boxwood blight that affects many regions in Europe.
In particular, NewGen Freedom boxwood stands out for its rapid growth, quickly filling garden spaces and responding well to trimming. With its strong resistance to both blight and boxwood leaf miner, it will remain an attractive addition to any landscape.
Top three reasons to grow NewGen Freedom boxwood:
- Resistant to common boxwood blight strains
- Steady growth rate
- Strong branching to maintain form even in harsh winters
