Green Tower® Boxwood

Green Tower Boxwood typically grows about 7–9 feet tall and only 1–2 feet wide. It has a naturally narrow, columnar shape, making it ideal for tight spaces and vertical accents. 

Green Tower Boxwoods are slow growers, typically adding about 4 to 6 inches per year under ideal conditions.

Plant Green Tower Boxwood in full sun to partial shade with well-draining soil. It adapts to a wide range of soil types and performs best in locations with good airflow and consistent drainage.

For a tight hedge or screen, plant Green Tower Boxwoods about 1.5–2 feet apart. This allows them to grow together while maintaining their narrow form.

Green Tower Boxwood thrives in USDA Zones 5–9. It performs well in temperate climates and tolerates both cold winters and moderate heat.

Yes, Green Tower Boxwood is an evergreen shrub that maintains its rich green color throughout the year, even in winter.

Water regularly during the first year to establish roots. Once established, water deeply but less frequently, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid consistently wet soil, as this can lead to root issues.

Green Tower Boxwood naturally maintains its narrow shape and requires minimal pruning. Light trimming in late winter or early spring can help maintain a clean, formal look if desired.

Its tall, narrow, and dense growth habit makes Green Tower Boxwood an excellent choice for privacy screens, especially in tight spaces where width is limited.

Avoid planting in poorly draining or soggy soil, as boxwoods are sensitive to root rot. Also avoid overly shaded areas, which can reduce density and overall plant health.

All California orders require a mandatory inspection by the Texas Department of Agriculture (yep, it’s a USDA thing!). These inspections happen about once a week—typically on Tuesdays, though the day can vary. If you place an order just after an inspection, your plant may not ship for several days until the next one. Unfortunately, we’re not able to expedite this part of the process.

Also, due to USDA regulations, we’re unable to ship oak trees, citrus or fruit trees (except olive trees) to California. This rule helps prevent the spread of pests and diseases and applies to nurseries across the country.

Thanks for your patience—we’ll make sure it’s worth the wait.
