The Sky Walker® Boxwood is the fastest growing boxwood of them all, adding as much as 30 inches in a year, and reaching 20 feet or even more, while staying just a few feet wide at the base. All the growth is dense and entirely vertical, making it very easy to grow an extremely narrow pyramid of green, and train it into unique topiary forms. Use it for a vertical accent in a bed or beside a door or gate. This eye-catching and unique plant is sure to be a hit, and really add interest in any garden.
Plant the Sky Walker® Boxwood in full sun, or just a little shade, to keep the growth dense and vigorous. It will grow in any well-drained soil, needing rich, moist soil and plenty of nutrients to achieve its maximum growth potential. Pests are rare and this variety is resistant to common root diseases that can kill other boxwood varieties. Trim it from spring to late summer as needed to create the form you want. Even untrimmed it will stay incredibly narrow.
