| I think it is a shrub. It is planted in my son's backyard, next to a white fence. There is some paint on it's leaves from someone who must have been painting the fence and spilled it all over the place.
Anyway, I've posted a pic to see if someone can please ID it for me? Thanks so much. |

| Thanks bboy. I googled Buxus Sempervirens and it appears that there are several different cultivars. I'm wondering if this is suppose to be a hedge? Would you happen to know how I should take care of it? These are just a few of the cultivars that I found and am wondering which one I would mostly like have? Is this similar to a boxwood hedge? 'Inglis', 'Northern Beauty', 'Northern Find', 'Northland', and 'Welleri' - These forms posses sufficient cold-hardiness and good form to be considered for for use in New England. 'Graham Blandy' - A very unusual fastigiate form becoming more prevalent in the industry. Grows as a narrow column of deep green leaves, to 9' tall but only 2' wide. May not be as hardy as other types. 'Pendula' - A type with weeping branches that forms a small 6' tree in time. Not widely available and perhaps not as hardy. 'Suffrutiosa' - A dense, compact slow-growing form ideal for low hedge use. Believed to be less susceptible to boxwood leaf miner. An old and commonly used cultivar, widely available. 'Vardar Valley' - A low growing form reaching 2' to 3' tall and 4' to 5' wide. Probably cold hardy to -15o F without injury. Slow-growing and mounded, this form is very popular and widely available. |
