A Boxwood Revolution! <\/p>

Have you heard about the two NewGen\u00ae boxwood that have come onto the market? 'Independence' and 'Freedom' came out recently and are a fresh breeze of improved genetics in the Buxus arena. They have a strong tolerance to boxwood blight and are resistant to leaf miner. Both are considered zone 5-8.<\/p><\/div>

\"Leafminers<\/span><\/div>

NewGen Independence\u00ae 'SB 108\u2019PP28888'<\/span>
This is a medium-sized rounded shrub with very deep green foliage that will hold its color well throughout winter. Independence has a very strong branching structure that will hold up against most snow loads. It is considered a medium grower putting on 2-4\u201d per year. Its final size in 25 years will reach 4.5\u2019 x 4.5\u2019. Thriving in sun, shade, or a mixture of both, this green beauty can go anywhere in the landscape<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

NewGen Freedom\u00ae 'SB 300\u2019 PP32421'<\/span>
This is also a medium-sized rounded shrub, although it is slightly taller than it is round. Freedom has very beautiful glossy green foliage. It will grow 3-6\u201d a year and finish off at 5'x5\u2019 in about 25 years. Versatile like Independence, it will grow in sun, shade, or a mixture of both.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

With both of these being relatively new to the market finding any that are larger than a #3 is difficult. But with more time and a few more growing seasons, I am sure we will start seeing larger plants available. At this time, we do not stock any of these at Christensen\u2019s Plant Center but can special order them for you. I am looking at bringing some in for next spring and just wanted to make you aware of these new beautiful boxwood that are coming soon.<\/p><\/div>
