Japanese Boxwood - Live Plant - Evergreen Hedge Shrub

Japanese Boxwood (Buxus microphylla var. japonica) is a broadleaf evergreen shrub native to mountainous areas in Japan, particularly on the islands of Shikoku and Kyushu. Unlike other boxwood species, it is a relatively fast-growing shrub, reaching up to 12 inches in height per year. As it matures, it typically takes on a loose upright form, growing to a height of 6-8 feet and spreading as wide as 10 feet. The leaves are glossy and rounded, measuring about 1 inch in length. They vary in shape and transition from green to orange-red-bronze after the first fall frost, but quickly revert to green in the spring.

Please note that this plant will be shipped in a fabric grow bag, as depicted in the pictures. For deliveries to California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota, the plant will be shipped bare root, still enclosed in a grow bag. Currently, the plants are growing in a 1-quart nursery pot, but they will not be shipped in a plastic pot.
