Boxwood NewGen™ Independence®

$45.00

NewGen Independence® is a very deep green, medium-sized cultivar that holds excellent color throughout the winter. It has a rounded habit that is nearly as tall as wide. Branching structure is very strong, allowing it to withstand most moderate to heavy snow loads. Deer resistant!

NewGen Independence® offers classic boxwood beauty with good resistance to boxwood blight as well as good performance in boxwood leafminer trials. Its growth is similar to Buxus microphylla ‘Green Beauty’ but has much better boxwood leafminer resistance and the leaves are slightly more elongated. In new gardens and landscapes, consider it as a substitute for Buxus sempervirens ‘Suffruticosa’ (English Boxwood). NewGen Independence® was a chance seedling found in the Williamsburg, Virginia area.
