About this Littleleaf Boxwood Bonsai, Trained (Buxus microphylla 'Compacta')
Fourteen years of training have produced a compact 7 by 8 by 9 inch tree, presented on an 8-inch faux rock. Littleleaf boxwood is a Japanese evergreen with small obovate leaves of a light green, and its spring flowers are inconspicuous enough to pass unnoticed. Buxus is the Latin name for the genus; the English word boxwood recalls the carved decorative boxes the timber was turned into, though it may equally describe the squared stems of young plants. The tight foliage is what makes it valued for bonsai.
Kingsville Boxwood bonsai care
This is a living Kingsville Boxwood (Buxus microphylla). Before you buy, this is what it will ask of you:
- Indoor / outdoor
- Best outdoors; tolerates brief indoor spells but needs light, air and a cool winter
- Light
- Full sun to partial shade; some afternoon shade helps in very hot climates
- Water
- Evenly moist — regular water, but let the surface dry slightly; dislikes soggy roots
- USDA zones
- 6–9 (roughly; less cold-hardy than common boxwood)
- #1 cause of death
- Root rot from waterlogged / poorly drained soil
Soil, repotting, pruning, seasonal work and the full pest and disease list are in our free Kingsville Boxwood bonsai care guide.
