BUXUS NEWGEN `INDEPENDENCE`

NewGen Independence® was chosen based on its very high tolerance to boxwood blight as well as its outstanding performance in boxwood leafminer trials. It’s growth is similar to ‘;Green Beauty’; boxwood but has much better boxwood leafminer resistance and the leaves are slightly more elongated. 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. NewGen Independence® can be used in formal plantings where a medium-sized round plant is desired. It would be a replacement for Buxus sempervirens ‘;Suffruticosa’; (English Boxwood) for foundational plantings. Branching structure is very strong allowing it to withstand most moderate to heavy snow loads. Deer resistant.
