Help: Identifying a hedge
Hi all,
New homeowner and new to gardening. I'm interested in possibly extending an existing hedge, but I don't know species so I'm unable to research it. I have a few pictures of it he http://www.snice.net/hedge.jpg http://www.snice.net/hedge_closeup.jpg Right now, it's a little over 6 feet tall. I'd like to know how tall this species is capable of being 8 or 9 feet tall in open sunlight. Thanks for any input. F.M. |

Identifying a hedge
I don't recall any flowers, but I could be wrong. I took a closeup picture
of the leaves in case that would be helpful. http://www.snice.net/hedge_leaves.jpg It looks like a ligustrum (privet) hedge. Does it get small white flowers? |

Identifying a hedge
It is one of the forms of Box.
If you compare the size of the leaves with the bluebells in the first pic you will see they are much to small to be privet http://www.snice.net/hedge.jpg In the latest pic you can see the older leaves showing dark glossy green and the square stem of Box http://www.snice.net/hedge_leaves.jpg Have a look at http://www.desert-tropicals.com/Plan..._japonica.html -- David Hill Abacus Nurseries www.abacus-nurseries.co.uk |

Identifying a hedge
Thank you for the feedback.
Unfortunately, most descriptions say that Buxus Japonica grows to only 6 feet. I'm looking for an 8 or 9-foot hedge. I like the small, dense leaves of the Buxus family - is there a variety that grows taller than the Japonica? |
