    Transferred over to my foundation plantings very well. Bought 3 of these and so far they look great and the deer have not touched them.

    These boxwoods were in very good condition and look so good in my yard.

    Mostly happy
    Here's hoping these grow up to be a hedge. One box showed up somewhat destroyed. The plants all shipped with a cardboard collar (if you will) as supports during shipping. All but 1 showed up intact (ordered 53, so 14 boxes). Not sure if it happened before or during shipping. Things were haphazardly taped/retaped in the box. Complained but didn't want to have to go back to the store to do a return.

    2.25 gallon, 5-6ft tree IS NOT
    I ordered the 2.25 gallon shrub, that was supposed to be 5-6 feet tall. You can see the picture of what I actually received, less than 2 feet total. Can find this size cheaper elsewhere. I’m returning this.

      Inaccurate description
      The description on Home Depot says hardiness zone 4, however it came with a paper with the plant that says zone 5 hardiness. I will followup and return if this plants die next year. good thing there is a 1 year return policy on plants.

        The plants arrived sooner that scheduled. So far they are doing well and new leaves are coming out. I'll probably buy more this coming Spring. Thanks

          Much smaller than the 1st batch of 2.25 gal winter green boxwoods I just purchased 3 weeks before.

          Shrub is healthy but had a very small root system so most of my 7gal purchase was for the dirt. Very disappointing.
