Buxus wallichiana Variegated



25th October 2014


A pretty little Box given to me by Mark Fillan, because he knows I like these oddities.
A small shade loving tree from the North-Western Himalayas in India, Nepal and Bhutan. The species produces a high quality wood used in local crafts and the species is vulnerable to over use.
This variegated form has been slow growing but produces a couple of inches of extension growth every year.
