Botanical Name: Buxus sempervirens Highlander
Mature Size: 609 ft H, 204 ft W
Light Requirement: Sun to Partial Shade
Water Need: Medium
Cold Hardiness: Zone 5 (-20 to -15F) to 9 (25 to 30F)
Description: Vigorous, upright evergreen boxwood with a notably fast growth rate, of up to 24 inches per year, making it one of the best choices for gardeners seeking a taller, quicker-establishing boxwood. Narrow, columnar habit requires less pruning than traditional boxwood forms, while still offering dense, rich green foliage year-round. Compared to other American/English types, Highlander is more heat-tolerant and better adapted to the warm climate of Central Texas, though some afternoon shade is recommended to protect against leaf scorch. Excellent for creating privacy, topiary forms, or tall clipped hedges.
