Buxus Green Mountain Bush

Evergreen boxwood with naturally upright, pyramidal form

Evergreen Formal Hedges & Topiary Cold Hardy Deer Resistant Container Friendly
Description
Renowned for its dense, upright habit, Buxus Green Mountain Bush forms a naturally pyramidal evergreen perfect for clipped hedges, foundation plantings, and topiary. Small, glossy leaves hold a rich green color through the seasons with minimal winter bronzing when properly sited. With a slow-to-moderate growth rate, it’s easy to maintain at formal heights, yet capable of maturing into a graceful 5–7 ft specimen. Tough, versatile, and deer resistant, Green Mountain offers year-round structure in both beds and large containers.
Suggested Uses
Low to medium formal hedges (2–5 ft) Topiary: cones, pyramids, spirals Containers at entries and patios Foundation plantings Parterres & knot gardens Year-round structure in mixed borders

Care Tips
  • Planting Instructions iconPlanting InstructionsPlant in spring or early fall. Dig a hole 2–3× the width of the root ball and the same depth, set straight, backfill with native soil, water to settle, and mulch 2–3 in (keep mulch off the stem).
  • Soil Moisture iconSoil MoistureKeep evenly moist, especially the first 1–2 seasons. Avoid soggy conditions; allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings.
  • Soil Type iconSoil TypeWell‑drained loam or sandy loam; prefers pH 6.5–7.5. Improve drainage in heavy clay with compost and raised beds if needed.
  • Humidity iconHumidityAverage outdoor humidity is ideal. Reduce winter desiccation with mulch and wind protection in exposed sites.
  • Pruning Instructions iconPruning InstructionsLightly shear after spring flush (late spring) to shape. Do structural pruning in late winter. Avoid hard cuts in late summer; always sanitize tools.
  • Winter Care iconWinter CareWater deeply before the ground freezes, apply 2–3 in mulch, and consider burlap windbreaks on exposed sites. Protect from road salt spray.
  • Planting Depth iconPlanting DepthSet the root flare at or slightly above surrounding grade; do not bury the crown. Tease or score circling roots on container plants.
  • Fertilization iconFertilizationFeed lightly in early spring with a balanced, slow‑release fertilizer or compost. Avoid high‑nitrogen feeding after midsummer; soil test when possible.
  • Special Care iconSpecial CareEnsure good air circulation and water at the base to limit disease. Monitor for boxwood leafminer, psyllids, and mites; treat early if detected. Rotate container plants periodically for even light exposure.
Note: Boxwoods prefer consistent moisture and excellent drainage. Proper siting and sanitation are key to minimizing boxwood blight and winter bronzing.
