Buxus 'Green Mountain'
Choose Green Mountain Boxwood if you want a formal evergreen with upright shape for entries, corners, or ordered foundation beds. The tradeoff: it needs occasional pruning to stay sharp and is not the soft, rounded look some yards need.
Buy This If
You want upright structure.
You like a formal look.
You can prune lightly.
Skip This If
You want a round shrub.
You need instant screening.
You dislike clipped plants.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
A-
Its upright pyramidal form gives strong structure without needing constant shaping.
Growth Rate
B
It fills in at a steady pace, but it is not the fastest boxwood for quick results.
Maintenance
B
Plan on light pruning and airflow-minded planting to keep the shape clean.
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
B-
It works in tighter beds only if you want height and are willing to prune.
Screening Value
C+
It can block sightlines in pieces, but it is better for structure than a true privacy screen.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Green Mountain when the homeowner wants order and height without using a tall, narrow evergreen. Give it room, prune lightly, and avoid crowding it against the house.

Customers Usually Ask
Will it stay pyramidal on its own?
Mostly, yes, but light pruning keeps the outline cleaner.
Is it good by a front door?
Yes, if the space can handle an upright formal shrub.
Can it be used as a hedge?
Yes, but choose Green Mountain Boxwood - Hedge Pruned for a head start.
Why Choose Boxwoods for a Polished Landscape?
Year-Round Evergreen Structure: Dense foliage maintains its rich green color through every season.
Perfect for Hedges & Borders: Easily shaped and maintained for clean lines, formal gardens, or foundation plantings.
Low Maintenance & Hardy: With proper placement, boxwoods require minimal upkeep and offer dependable performance.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!

They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.

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!
They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
