An indoor or outdoor plant for the miniature garden. Discovered in Quebec, this dwarf boxwood’s tiny, dark green leaves retain their color through winter temperatures. Small leaves perch just right on a tiny trunk that lifts it off the ground to make a “real” miniature garden tree. Hardier than the species.
The photos show the spring growth, that will turn back to the regular green color as it matures. Winter color is a dark green.

- Prune at any time, snip the stem just above a set of leaves to hide the cut

- Prune it to keep its 'tree' look by taking off some of the lower leaves to show more trunk
