Introducing the Better Boxwood Skylight — a historical breakthrough in the world of gardening. With over two decades of breeding and trials we are prepared to present to you the blight resistant, blight fighter line up! The Better Boxwood Skylight stands impressively at 6–8’ high and 3–4’ wide earning it the title of the grandest in stature among the four new Better Boxwood releases. It has tiny evergreen foliage in mid-green that grows a shade lighter in spring before maturing to match the established branches.

Additionally, the Skylight boasts the fastest growth rate of the Better Boxwood range, ensuring quicker landscape transformations and heightened aesthetic appeal. Beyond its pleasing form, the Skylight also shines bright in terms of durability. This cultivar is armored with a remarkable resistance to the dreaded boxwood blight!

Whether you're crafting a sophisticated hedge, topiary, boundary, or just a solitary centerpiece its moderate stature ensures it fits just right, never overwhelming your garden space but always standing out with a vibrant, evergreen shimmer. These shrubs have been designed to thrive with moderate watering and are highly adaptable, flourishing under both sunlight and partial shade.

Better Boxwood - The Blight Fighter

This new cultivar of Boxwoods has been bred to be more resistant to boxwood blight which a devastating disease that affects traditional boxwoods. Boxwood blight is caused by the fungus Calonectria pseudonaviculata and can lead to rapid defoliation and death of the plants.

Although bred to be blight resistant, it's always a good idea to follow best practices for boxwood care to ensure the healthiest plants. This includes proper spacing for airflow, not watering the foliage directly, and regularly inspecting for any signs of disease or pests.

Better Boxwood Skylight Care

Better Boxwood Sunlight Requirements

The Better Boxwood Skylight is a true sun enthusiast. This shrub, with its vibrant green foliage, thrives best when bathed in full sunlight. Its love for sun not only ensures robust growth, but also allows the best possible leaf coloration and overall health. Gardeners seeking a plant that can stand resiliently under the sun's full glare will find the Better Boxwood Skylight to be a perfect choice.

When To Prune Better Boxwood Shrubs

While the Skylight will maintain its natural shape well, you can prune it for a more refined appearance or to maintain a specific size. It's best to prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Are Better Boxwoods Cold Hardy?

YES! The Better Boxwood Skylight thrives across a diverse range of USDA hardiness zones, showcasing its adaptability and resilience to varying climate conditions. Particularly favored in zones 5 through 9, this cultivar is adept at handling temperature fluctuations experienced within these regions. USDA Hardiness Zone 5 has a temperate climate with average minimum winter temperatures ranging from -20°F to -10°F.

How Often Should Better Boxwoods Be Watered?

For optimal growth and health, the Skylight prefers well-draining soil, ensuring its roots are not left waterlogged and susceptible to rot. When it comes to watering, a consistent yet moderate routine is best, ensuring the soil remains moist but not overly saturated. The ideal soil type for this boxwood is a loamy blend that is rich in organic matter. Contrary to common perception, Boxwoods do NOT care for acidic soil. Plant in soil with a pH between 6.5-7.2.

Best Spider-Man book out there!
Format: Kindle
I really enjoyed this first volume of ultimate Spider-Man. As a (sort of) adult myself I love the new twist on the origin with Peter being a grown ass man with in his mid to late 30s with a career & young family when he gets the the powers this time instead of geeky teenager who is perpetually in his 20s in the 696 Marvel universe. Really enjoy the different take on Green Goblin as well and looking forward to seeing how everything plays out with the whole mission and greater conflict laid out in this book. The artwork is stellar and the writing is really sharp and crisp. Peter has never been more likable & charismatic and MJ & Gwen Stacey have never looked hotter. I could not recommend this book highly enough if you are a Spider-Man fan. As a matter of fact I enjoyed this book so much that I read it twice which I very rarely do.

The Spider-Man We Didn't Know We Needed
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Ultimate Spider-Man (2024) Vol. 1 is the breath of fresh air the franchise needed. Instead of the familiar wide-eyed teenager, we get a Peter Parker in his mid-30s - a husband, a father, and a man already carrying the weight of the world before he ever puts on a suit. That added dimension makes him instantly more compelling. The family dynamics, while central to the premise, don't always land with the emotional weight they deserve. It's a minor gripe in an otherwise confident debut. Hickman deserves credit for sidestepping decades of continuity baggage and reimagining beloved characters in arcs that feel genuinely new. For longtime fans and newcomers alike, this is a worthy read.

A Phenomenal, Fresh Take on Spider-Man
Format: Paperback
As a lifelong Spider-Man fan, I’ve read countless iterations of the character, but Jonathan Hickman’s Ultimate Spider-Man is something truly special. The story is original, bold, and absolutely phenomenal, breathing new life into the mythos while still respecting what makes Spider-Man great. Hickman has long been one of my favorite writers—his work on X-Men, House of X, and Secret Wars was groundbreaking, and he brings that same level of depth and world-building here. The storytelling is sharp, layered, and gripping from the very first page. And the artwork is absolutely stunning. Every panel is beautifully crafted, capturing the emotion, action, and energy of Spider-Man’s world in a way that makes it impossible to put down. This is exactly the kind of fresh, innovative storytelling I was hoping for. If you’re a fan of Spider-Man or Hickman’s work, this is a must-read. I can’t wait to see where this series goes next!
