Easily shaped and pruned.Buxus sempivirens is a slow-growing evergreen shrub with tiny, dark green and glossy leaves. It is most commonly used as hedging due to hardiness and growing habit. If left un-pruned it will eventually form a small tree. It is very often trimmed into shapes such as pyramids and spirals. Common box is a perfect hedge due to its ruggedness and the ability to keep it at any size easily but it can also make a nice standalone bushy tree.
