Buxus sempervirens (Common Box) Trough

Bio: Common Box is a vigorous, bushy, upright shrub or small tree. It has small, rounded-to-oblong, glossy, dark-green leaves that are evergreen. Its dense habit makes it ideal for hedging or screening, and it can be closely clipped into different shapes. Box is an excellent plant to make into topiary, as you can leave a smart finish after trimming.  We now offer Ilex Crenata (Japanese holly) as a alternative, as it is not affected by the disease known as “Box Blight.”
