Really Need Identification...please

G'day all,

Here's a better picture of the tree that I now need to be identified, it's height is 21cm [8 1/4"] including pot, does someone think that it might be a buxus?

And do you know the botanical name? ozzerbon

Buxus sempervirens = common box (english box?)

Posts: 1,259	G'day TreeBeard, Nope no smell of any kind that I can detect, been searching about and am coming to the conclusion that it is probably Buxus microphylla - 'Compacta'. You'll see in my gallery a very small Buxus, the leaves of this tree are half the size if not smaller than that one. Taking into consideration that it came in this small job-lot from somewhere in Germany, happens quite a lot over here in our G.centers. I think that I ended up buying the whole 'lot' of a real nice collection of very small trees. Thanks for your input. ozzerbon
