      About 10 foot tall. Will get a better picture today. I think the leaves are too small for Buxus though.

      Looks and sounds like the normal Buxus sempervirens. It flowers this time of year and can grow to 20ft or more. :blue thumb:

        Must be, but the leaves are far smaller than any of the Buxus we have grown before.
        Thanks.
