Privacy Hedge Plants: Box (Buxus sempervirens)

Box only grows to around 6 metres - and slowly. It's also poisonous to livestock, which two characteristics mean it is not widely planted other than for formal gardens, where it is most often a topiary feature or low hedge. It does best on lighter soils, and with some shade.
As an evergreen it provides good cover for birds in winter, and can make a useful privacy hedge. Boxwood is very hard, polishes up well and used to be much prized; in the middle ages it was used to make spice boxes and early printing blocks and it is still used for mallet heads and rulers. It has been found at several Romano-British burial sites and sprigs were thrown into coffins in some areas even last century.
Provenance certificates are available on request for these plants, which are from the Southwest of England.
