Buxus microphylla 'John Baldwin'

A broad, upright, conical grower. Foliage is fine-textured and leaves are relatively small compared to many boxwood. New foliage will have a blue tint and will slowly fade to a blue-green. An excellent substitute for conical Japanese hollies. Relatively new to the market and shows great promise. Shows potential to be adaptable to a wider range of soil conditions.

Medium growth rate; 2"-3"/year
