Buxus japonica tolerates heat and humidity better than English Box, making it well suited to warm temperate, subtropical and coastal climates as well as cooler districts. It also tolerates frost, light shade and regular pruning, with steady rather than fast growth that makes it ideal for controlled, long-term hedge planting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor low to medium hedging, borders, parterres and formal garden structures in residential and civic landscapes, Buxus japonica is a dependable, hard-wearing choice.
