Why Newgen® Boxwood?
NewGen® Boxwood is a distinctively better family of boxwood. We offer a new generation of plants that have proven themselves through years of observations, trialing, and research. We promise to provide exceptional plants that have good resistance to boxwood blight and other diseases with proper planting and care, good resistance to boxwood leafminer, and an overall stunning appearance. To deliver on these promises, the producer outlined several key focus areas:
- Secure testing methods and standards
- Introduction of cultivars that are superior to those already in the industry
- Establishment of an international network of premier researchers, testers, licensed propagators, and growers
- The ongoing search for new and improved genetics
- Strong support for researchers and initiatives that will benefit the entire industry.
- NewGen® aims to provide the industry with better boxwood cultivars, as well as research-based information about the common challenges boxwood face today.
