What is the difference between Wintergreen boxwood, Baby Gem boxwood and Japanese boxwood?
Wintergreen boxwood is upright and dense, reaching 3–4 feet, with deep green foliage ideal for hedges. Baby Gem boxwood is compact, mounded, and slower-growing at 2–3 feet, perfect for small borders or containers. Japanese boxwood is larger (3–6 feet), loose, and heat-tolerant, suitable for warmer climates and informal hedges.

What is the difference in height between the 1 gallon and the 3 gallon versions of the Baby Gem Boxwoods (from ground level to top - not from bottom of container) when they are shipped? And how long does shipping typically take to Massachusetts? Thanks,
The 1 Gallon and 3 Gallon Baby Gem Boxwoods are over a year apart in age so they will have more than a foot in difference of height. If you are located in Massachusetts the order will be shipped the following Monday or Tuesday to ensure they dont sit in transit over the weekend. Shipping normally takes 3 days once picked up from our location.

Are the Baby Gems resistant to Boxwood blight and to leafminer?
Baby Gem Boxwood is resistant to leafminer, a common boxwood pest. However, it is not fully resistant to boxwood blight but has better tolerance compared to other varieties if grown with proper care and good air circulation.
