Green Pillar Boxwood
Green Pillar Boxwood is a unique, upright evergreen shrub that adds vertical interest to any landscape with its narrow, columnar growth habit. Unlike traditional boxwoods, Green Pillar maintains a slender profile, reaching up to 9 feet tall while only spreading 2 to 3 feet wide, making it perfect for tight spaces, small gardens, or an elegant accent in formal landscapes. Its dense, glossy green foliage stays vibrant year-round, providing consistent color and texture whether planted as a standalone specimen, used in rows to create a living fence or accenting entryways.
This boxwood variety thrives in USDA zones 5-9 and is incredibly versatile, tolerating both full sun and partial shade. Green Pillar Boxwood is also relatively low-maintenance, with a naturally tidy shape that requires minimal pruning to maintain its columnar form. Its adaptability to different soil types and deer resistance make it an excellent choice for various landscape designs. Additionally, it’s highly valued for its durability in colder climates, retaining its vibrant green hue through winter, unlike many other evergreens that tend to discolor.
Ideal for formal gardens, topiary work, or privacy screens, Green Pillar Boxwood is perfect for adding height and structure to your outdoor spaces. With its slow to moderate growth rate, this boxwood requires less upkeep than faster-growing shrubs, allowing it to maintain its elegant, narrow form without frequent pruning. Its vertical growth habit makes it a natural choice for framing doorways or creating striking focal points in any garden design, offering year-round beauty and reliability with minimal effort.
