Boxwood - Green Ice:

Boxwood - Green Ice, Buxus 'Green Ice', has glossy dark green evergreen foliage and is considered super hardy, maintaining a deep-green winter sempervirens color. The new spring growth is blue-green which turns a glossy, deep green in the summer. Green Ice is an attractive medium-sized evergreen shrub that exhibits a dense upright mounded and compact growth habit. No pruning is required to maintain this compact and mounded shape, and it reaches 3 feet tall and wide at maturity. It prefers full to part sun, is slow growing, and its winter hardiness is exceptionally good. Green Ice Boxwood is capable of providing attractive ornamentation in the landscape, even during the coldest winter months. It makes a nice compact hedge or works well for foundation landscaping.

What's New?

"Organic food has a higher nutritional value than ordinary produce, a study by Newcastle University has found."

"A team grew fruit, vegetables and reared cattle on adjacent organic and non-organic sites across Europe. They found up to 40% more antioxidants could be found in organic fruit and vegetables than in non-organic.

The team said the findings call into question the current stance of the Food Standards Agency (FSA), which is neither for nor against organic food."
