Native to East Asia, the Chinese Boxwood (Buxus) is an evergreen shrub valued for its strength and timeless elegance. Well suited to outdoor cultivation in European climates, it is known for its slow growth, which contributes to its exceptional longevity. With proper care, this tree can live for several centuries.

Its dense foliage is composed of small, elongated dark green leaves, measuring approximately 10 to 15 mm. In spring, it produces subtle flowers that develop into small fruits in autumn. These fruits are not edible, although they are highly attractive to bees. Its decorative cork-like bark quickly gives the plant an aged, characterful appearance, making it especially appealing to enthusiasts of mature-looking specimens.
