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.

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…
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!
