Buxus 'SB 300'
Choose NewGen® Freedom® Boxwood for a dependable evergreen hedge where disease resistance and faster fill matter most. The tradeoff: it is not the tightest small-space boxwood, so give it room or plan on regular pruning.
Buy This If
You want a stronger boxwood hedge.
You need fill faster than compact types.
You prefer rounded evergreen structure.
Skip This If
You need a very compact plant.
You dislike pruning hedges.
Your soil stays soggy.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
B+
It gives clean evergreen structure, but it is more of a backbone plant than a showpiece.
Growth Rate
B+
It fills in faster than many boxwoods while still staying manageable with pruning.
Maintenance
B
It benefits from shaping if you want a crisp hedge, but it does not need fussy care.
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
C+
Its vigor is useful for hedging but less convenient in tight beds.
Screening Value
B
It works well for lower screening and defined edges, not tall privacy coverage.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend NewGen® Freedom® Boxwood when a customer wants boxwood structure but is worried about disease pressure and slow fill. Give it space, prune with a plan, and avoid wet soil.

Customers Usually Ask
Is this better than older boxwoods?
For many New England hedges, yes, because disease resistance and vigor are the main reasons to buy it.
Can I keep it shaped?
Yes, but plan on pruning if you want a tight formal outline.
Will deer eat it?
Boxwood is generally a strong choice for deer resistance, though heavy pressure can still cause testing.
Privacy & Screening: Many varieties grow dense and full, making them ideal for natural hedges and property boundaries.
Seasonal Color & Texture: From evergreen foliage to flowering varieties, shrubs provide visual interest in every season.
Shrubs Grown to Perform in New England
At Pro Growers of New England, our shrubs are grown and maintained locally to perform in true New England conditions. From flowering varieties to evergreen foundation plants, each shrub is properly spaced, pruned, and cared for to develop strong root systems and balanced structure before it ever reaches your landscape.
Unlike large online sellers that ship plants long distances, we invite you to visit our nursery, walk the rows, and inspect the exact shrubs available. You can see the size, health, and fullness in person — ensuring there are no surprises upon delivery.
We use your zone to recommend plants that survive your winters, and to estimate when your
order ships — we ship each plant when the weather where you live is right for it.

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!

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…
