Buxus 'SB 108'
Choose NewGen® Independence® Boxwood if you want a dense, rounded boxwood with better disease resistance than older standards; the tradeoff is that it is still a formal shrub that looks best with steady pruning.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | It gives a clean, formal outline, but it will not carry a planting by itself like a flowering shrub. |
| Growth Rate | B | The moderate pace is useful for shaping, though impatient homeowners may want something faster. |
| Maintenance | B | It is not difficult to manage, but it looks its best with routine light pruning and good airflow. |
| 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 dense, rounded habit works well near walks, entries, and foundations when kept trimmed. |
| Screening Value | C | It can define an edge, but it is not the plant to choose for real privacy. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Independence when a homeowner wants boxwood structure but is worried about long-term disease problems in older varieties.

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!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
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.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
