Abstract: A new and distinct Buxus cultivar is provided. The attractive evergreen hedge/shrub displays a dense columnar upright growth habit, and is particularly fast growing relative to many other Buxus variants. No pruning is required to maintain the attractive growth habit. The new variant commonly displays a single sturdy trunk that develops multiple pliable fast-growing branches with glossy deep green foliage. The foliage displays deep green color in all weather conditions, temperatures, and degrees of sunlight and shade. The new variant exhibits excellent endurance to both high and low temperatures, and has exceptional tolerance to wind, snow, and ice due in part to the yielding characteristic of its branches. No typical boxwood fragrance is emitted by the foliage or branches. The new variant's growth habit and shape make it suitable for a multitude of landscape and other uses.

Abstract: A new and distinct Buxus cultivar of unknown parentage is provided that is believed to be an interspecific cross. The attractive medium-sized evergreen shrub exhibits a dense upright mounded and compact growth habit. No pruning is required to maintain the compact and mounded growth habit. The glossy foliage is deep olive green throughout the year and exhibits no substantial change in coloration during the winter. The winter hardiness also is exceptionally good. The new cultivar accordingly is capable of providing attractive ornamentation in the landscape even during the coldest winter months. No fragrance is emitted by the foliage. An unusually rapid growth cycle is possible following propagation which renders the new plant well suited for commercial production in containers.
