The most widely use Boxwood in formal horticulture, Buxus sempervirens is a bushy evergreen tree with a trunk that is often covered in smaller side-shoots, topped by a shaggy mane of branches, reaching up to 8 metres in the wild. Its native range is all around the Mediterranean and it has been naturalised in Britain and other countries for some time, partly due to its extensive use in gardens. Its oval leaves are in opposite pairs, each leaf being up to 3cm long and ranging in colour from deep green to quite yellowy - generally speaking, shade brings out the green colour, while full sun can scorch the leaves slightly, turning them more yellow. Buxus sempervirens is monoecious and its flowers are hermaphroditic: although they are pollinated by insects, they are very hard to see amongst the foliage, being green and lacking petals.

Buxus sempervirens can be found growing on any well drained soil and is famous for growing well in the shade.<br>
