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.
NewGen Independence boxwood has a handsome globe-like shape and takes to pruning well. Its leaves are a bit longer than the typical rounded ones, and beneath this foliage is a solid structure of branches. Its medium growth rate makes it a great plant for gardeners looking to do minimal pruning.
