Boxwood Tree

Boxwood is the classic evergreen for clipped hedges, parterres, and foundation lines, with small dense leaves that take shearing better than almost anything else. It prefers well-drained soil and hates wet roots, which is the usual cause of decline in heavy Southern clay. Look for blight-resistant selections, give plants room for air movement, and avoid overhead watering. Shipped in a 6" Starter Pot, well-rooted from our Lineville, Alabama nursery.
