Green mountain boxwood is one of the hybrids developed in canada at the famous
Sheridan Nursery. These hybrids can withstand very cold temperatures and maintain
good color. Green mountain has a small leaf and a very full habit making it ideal
for many applications. It is a vigorous growing boxwood when young, with dense
upright form and bright green leaves that retain their color through winter.
It is not only wind and air pollution tolerant, it's easy to transplant with
shallow roots. The flowers attract bees, and it is deer resistant. All of the
hybrids are less likely than other boxwoods to yellow in winter, but the
Green Mountain is truly pyramidal, making it ideal for a tall hedge or corner
placement.
