Cylinder Green Mountain Boxwood (Buxus x 'Green Mountain')

Cylinder Green Mountain Boxwood (Buxus x 'Green Mountain') offers a stately, upright silhouette shaped into a clean cylindrical form. This formal evergreen adds height and structure to landscapes and containers, making it a go-to choice for traditional gardens, entryways, and formal hedging. Its naturally upright growth habit and cold tolerance make it a strong performer in a range of climates.

Distinctive Features

This topiary form is cultivated into a vertical cylinder, typically reaching 3 to 5 feet tall and 1.5 to 2.5 feet wide. The dense, dark green foliage holds its color well through winter and responds well to shearing. Unlike looser cultivars, 'Green Mountain' maintains a crisp, symmetrical form with minimal effort, making it ideal for sculptural or architectural use in the garden.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun Exposure: Full sun to part shade; prefers at least 4 hours of direct light for best color and growth.
  • Soil: Thrives in well-drained, neutral to slightly alkaline soils.
  • Water: Moderate; water deeply and regularly, especially during the establishment period.
  • Humidity: Adaptable to a range of humidity levels; ensure good airflow in humid regions.
  • USDA Hardiness Zones: 4�8; extremely cold hardy and reliable across a wide climate range.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point Plantings: Tall, columnar shape adds architectural interest and formality to garden beds.
  • Formal Hedges: Useful in repetition for symmetrical, structured hedging or spacing along borders.
  • Entryways and Paths: Use in pairs or staggered groupings to frame walkways or highlight design features.
  • Containers: Excellent in tall pots or planters for a polished, vertical accent.
  • Foundation Plantings: Adds height and structure to low-lying plantings around buildings.

Low Maintenance Care

As a shaped form of a naturally structured cultivar, Cylinder Green Mountain Boxwood is easy to care for and needs only occasional trimming to maintain its design. Its durability and pest resistance make it a reliable performer.

  • Watering: Deep water weekly during the first season; mature plants are moderately drought tolerant.
  • Pruning: Trim once or twice a year to retain shape; late spring and early fall are ideal times.
  • Fertilizing: Feed in early spring with a balanced fertilizer if needed to encourage healthy foliage.
  • Pest & Disease Resistance: Naturally resilient; minimize fungal issues by avoiding overhead watering.
  • Winter Care: Cold hardy with minimal bronzing; mulch the base for extra protection in exposed areas.
