Boxwood can reach 5 m in height but generally measures between 50 cm and 2 m. It is made up of small leathery leaves that measure between 2 and 4 cm long.
Boxwood thrives in all types of soil as long as it is neither too dry nor too humid. All parts of boxwood are toxic, both for humans and animals. The best enemy is the boxwood moth, which attacks young shoots and causes spots to appear on the leaves. If your boxwood is heavily attacked by the box wood moth, it is best to plant a species of shrub resistant to this parasite.
