Buxus Sempervirens (Common Box Hedge), 25/30cm, 3L Pot

Plant them at a distance of 5 per metre for a perfect box hedge.

Common box is a slow-growing, evergreen tree, with dark green oval leaves which are thick and waxy.

Mature trees can grow to a height of 12m, but most gardeners trim them into a neat hedge.  They have a compact habit, with smooth grey bark which fissures with age, and green, downy stems.

Feed with buxus feed (here).
