The Gardener's Notepad
AKA Garrison's Boxwood or Jim's True Spreader. Take your pick. Originated from Garrison Nursery, Seabreeze, New Jersey. There's an interesting story in there if you care to ask. We have ten of them gracing the front of our porch here at the nursery, and their color is unbeatable. Faces North, gets no direct sunlight, and yet they thrive! Easily clipped and kept small, like we plan to do, or if left unpruned, will eventually (20+ years) reach shoulder height with an equal or greater spread.
