This Box hedge was found in Plattfields Park in the formal Shakespeare garden. They are small and very dense, this means they can be easily shaped into interesting and aesthetic forms as they hold their shape. They are spreading evergreen trees or large shrubs.
It has numerous young, green twigs which are angular and covered in white hairs.
The bark is smooth, grey and breaks into small squares with age.
The leaves are opposite and ovate to oblong. They grow up to 2.5cm long and 10cm across with a notched tip. The upper surface is dark green and glossy, whereas the lower surface is paler.
