Cornell Farm Buxus semp. Graham Blandy
Best vertical accent for gardeners managing tight spaces and deer pressure.
This is the architectural solution for tight garden footprints that need height without the bulk. Its narrow, columnar habit brings a refined, formal structure to the landscape, though you sacrifice the sprawling, rounded shape typical of traditional boxwoods for this disciplined verticality.
