Boxwood

Boxwood have been part of the family tradition at Saunders Brothers for over 60 years. What started as one boy's 4-H project evolved into the foundation of our wholesale nursery. Today we supply hundreds of garden centers and landscapers with a large selection of both container and field grown boxwood.

At Saunders Brothers, we are constantly evaluating boxwood.  There are hundreds of varieties and cultivars of boxwood available in the market today.  Saunders Brothers is working to trial and evaluate these through years of experience and through the National Boxwood Trials.  Countless efforts are being made to offer the industry the best selections for landscape use.  Evaluations include the aesthetic appeal, grower friendliness, and landscape performance.  As coordinators of the National Boxwood Trials, data is being reported on how boxwood are performing at Trial sites around the eastern United States and abroad in order to predict which new cultivars will be considered "the best of the best."
