Buxus ‘Box’ tree is an outdoor, fairly hardy evergreen shrub. With its small glossy leaves it makes excellent bonsai. The hard long-lasting wood can be carved and used for driftwood effects.
Location
Outdoors in full sun or partial shade, but it will have deeper green if given some shade.
Temperature
Outdoors in summer but will require winter protection from hard frosts.
Watering
Water regularly throughout the growing season. Keep damp during winter.
Pruning
Some pruning when needed with scissors rather than by pinching of the young shoots.
Repotting
Repot in spring when it needs it, check every 2-3 years.
Feeding
Feed with high-nitrogen feed from spring to early summer and with a general feed in mid-summer. Always read the label.
