Buxus For Gardening And Landscaping Royalty-Free Stock Photography

Buxus (Buxus spp.) are evergreen shrubs and small trees. They are part of the Buxaceae family and are native to parts of Europe, Asia, America and Africa. Buxus is a group of evergreen plants that contain 70 species that are mainly slow growing except for a few varieties such as Japanese Box. Buxus normally have small oval, glossy, dark green leaves which form an evergreen compact shrub. Immature Buxus plants can change colour and take on Autumn toning during a very cold Winters. This is quite normal and often relates to very cold nights with bright sunny days, with cold winds also known to cause this bronzing. Top dressing in Autumn with Dolomite lime and fertilising before the weather cools too much can help shield them from this. At the start of Spring feeding them with an all purpose fertiliser will help them revert back to their normal colour.
