Boxwood
While most of our 7,000 boxwoods are growing for the future, we have hundreds for sale, ranging in size from 5 to 50 gallons. Many of them are interesting topiaries. The variety of our boxwoods permits the customer to shop for a six-foot tall hedge or miniature Morris Midgets for bonsai collections.
