Buxus  •  Boxwood 
The  different  species  vary  in  height  from  low  bushes  to  medium-sized  trees.  All  are  long-lived,  of 
dense,  compact  growth,  and  have  dark  green,  glossy  leaves.  They  are  used  for  grouping,  edging  walks, 
planting  against  house  foundations,  for  hedges,  and  in  tubs 
for  formal  gardens,  terraces  and  porches. 
Buxus  sempervirens.  Common  Tree  Box.  This  variety  is 
familiar  in  old-fashioned  gardens,  where  it  has  slowly 
developed  into  a  large,  broad  bush.  The  small,  dark 
green  leaves  are  always  fresh  and  glossy.  It  is  a  strong 
grower  in  almost  any  soil  and  does  well  in  shaded  places. 
It  withstands  shearing  and  may  be  clipped  into  artificial 
forms.  Our  stock  includes  some  specimens  that  have 
been  clipped  into  conical  or  pyramidal  shape,  and  are 
very  effective  in  formal  plantings  and  for  tubs  and  vases.
