Novelties of Herplant at Grootgroenplus 2022
We have two new novelties we are introducing at Grootgroenplus this year.
The first novelty Buxus ‘Giant’ is a large-leaved Buxus selected from our botanical breeding. This Buxus with large, glossy, dark green leaves had a bushy growth and is perfect for loose hedges and block plantings. But this new Buxus is also very decorative as a solitary plant. It has a growth resemblance to Prunus lusitanica but naturally has all the good characteristics of Buxus. It is not very susceptible to fungal diseases and the box tree moth.

The second novelty is Taxus baccata ‘Tiny T’. This low-growing and very compact Taxus selection is fine for low hedges and so-called grave planting as is widely used in Germany. It requires hardly any pruning and its fine, dark green needles make it a nice addition to the (small) garden or for in window boxes.
