Buxus 'Green Gem'
Choose Green Gem Boxwood for a small, tidy evergreen border where you want a rounded shape without constant shearing. The tradeoff is slow growth, so it is not the pick when you need quick size or privacy.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B | It gives clean evergreen structure, but its small scale reads quiet rather than bold. |
| Growth Rate | C+ | It fills in steadily, but patience matters if you are starting with small plants. |
| Maintenance | A- | Its rounded habit keeps pruning light, though edging a formal line still takes clipping. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Boxwood is one of the most deer-resistant shrubs we grow; its foliage deters browsing, though no plant is fully immune. |
| Small Space Fit | A | Its compact, bushy habit suits entries, paths, and foundation corners without crowding quickly. |
| Screening Value | D | It is too short and slow to serve as a privacy screen. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Green Gem where the goal is a neat low outline, not a screen. Give it decent drainage, mulch lightly, and avoid crowding it against steps or siding.

Yes, for a low hedge; it is not meant for privacy.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
