Choose Green Mountain Boxwood - Hedge Pruned if you want a clipped, upright boxwood hedge with cold-hardy structure already started. The tradeoff: it still needs regular trimming, or it will soften back toward its natural pyramidal form.

PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
A-
It gives a clean, formal look quickly because the hedge shape is already started.
Growth Rate
B
It grows steadily enough to fill in, but it is not a quick privacy plant.
Maintenance
B-
It is manageable, but the clipped hedge look requires routine pruning.
Deer Resistance
B+
Boxwood is a solid pick where deer browsing is a concern, though no plant should be treated as untouchable.
Small Space Fit
B+
Its upright habit fits narrow planting lines better than rounder boxwoods.
Screening Value
C+
It works for low structure and separation, not for blocking a view.

Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for customers who want structure first and are willing to maintain the shape with pruning instead of letting the plant grow naturally.

The two gentlemen that did the arborvitae installation were absolutely excellent. They listened to exactly what we wanted, mapped out the spots, and worked quickly and thoroughly to get it done. Outstanding work!
Top notch service and product quality. I didn’t know what to expect seeing the ads on Facebook, so I went to the greenhouse. They had a wonderful variety of products and a very helpful staff. The delivery and installers were fast, neat and friendly. Pro Growers will be me go to for now on!
