Dense Evergreen Privacy with Japanese Boxwood Shrubs Offering Year-Round Green Beauty for Your Landscape

Japanese Boxwood Shrubs Offer Low-Maintenance, Deer-Resistant Hedges for Formal or Casual Gardens

Compact and versatile, the Japanese Boxwood Shrub (Buxus microphylla) delivers lush, evergreen foliage year-round with minimal upkeep. Its dense growth habit makes it perfect for hedges, borders, or foundation plantings—even in partial shade.

This hardy boxwood variety is your ideal accent or hedge plant in flower gardens, formal gardens, or any landscape foundation planting due to its versatility, dense green foliage, and ease of maintenance! The Japanese Boxwood shrub, sometimes called littleleaf boxwood, produces dainty white flowers that are not showy in early spring.

The Buxus microphylla Japanese Boxwood plant features bright green, oval-shaped leaves that are somewhat larger, and slightly lighter green color, almost having a yellow appearance, than the hybrid boxwoods most commonly seen in landscapes. This Japanese shrub, also known as the Winter Gem boxwood, makes an excellent medium to large hedge, and is quite simple to grow (even if it’s a slow-growing shrub). Also, it’s deer resistant!

Japanese Boxwood Care

Like all other large boxwoods, the Japanese boxwood hedge grows well in cool, moist, well-drained soils but it can tolerate a wide range of soils. As well as, growing in partial sun to part shade. It only needs a small amount of partial shade to shield its leaves from the full sun. Boxwoods prefer being planted in slightly acidic sights with a soil pH of 6.5-7.

Shake off the extra dirt of the root ball before planting and separate the roots to encourage new growth. It is fairly drought tolerant, but make sure to have a regular watering schedule during the first year of planting to establish its shallow root system. Mulch heavily with a 3-inch layer of organic matter to help retain moisture. 

This evergreen shrub keeps its dark green leaves through summer and fall. If protected from winter wind, it can stay green until temperatures drop. Boxwood hedges are deer resistant and the leaves may turn yellow in dry weather. Buxus shrubs may be susceptible to boxwood leafminers. If this is the case use insecticidal soap to get rid of these pests.

This perennial shrub is slightly less cold-hardy than other commonly used boxwood varieties. Still a great choice for many woodland gardeners across the United States in the Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 5-9! It is also salt tolerant and a good choice for planting near coasts or waterways.

How Fast Do Japanese Boxwoods Grow?

The Japanese Boxwood growth rate is slow – less than 12 inches per year. Since these boxwood’s rate of growth is so slow, it may take a few years for a seedling to grow into a privacy shrub, so it’s best to start with a larger plant. The Japanese Boxwood grows from 5 to 6 feet tall and 4 to 6 feet wide.

Are Japanese Boxwoods Trees or Shrubs?

Despite their potential to grow very large, Japanese Boxwoods fall into the shrub category. More specifically, Japanese Boxwoods are considered evergreen shrubs, meaning that they will keep their leaves all year, even through the winter. While it’s most commonly seen as a formal hedge, you can train this shrub into becoming a Japanese boxwood tree. Since the Japanese Boxwood is so tolerant to pruning, you can shape this plant into whatever shape you desire.

How Far Apart To Plant Japanese Boxwood Shrubs

Since Japanese Boxwoods can grow quite large in their maturity, it’s important to decide if you want to grow shrubs or individual plants. If you’re planning to prune trees, leave ample room between each, allowing them to reach their full sizes. Space them 2 to 3 feet apart to make a shrub border hedge. Always space them at least 2 feet away from homes, fences, and other structures.

Can Japanese Boxwood Grow In Shade?

Full shade is not recommended for this plant. Japanese Boxwood shrubs are known to thrive in partial shade or near full sun.

Cheap Gshock replacement, good value
For $13 this is a steal. It's essentially a casio illuminator w larger bright dial, press once for 5 sec of light then goes dark. Date, time (12 and 24hr), stop watch. The basics, all I needed. A+ Edit: updated the waterproofing is non-existent. It's not even water resistant so treat accordingly don't bring into the shower. The face plastic cracked on me from moderate use, still legible and since I don't test it with water not an issue. The buttons are very sensitive so activities like lifting can cause the bottom left button to depress and switch to stopwatch, or engage the stopwatch. After over a year use I still rank this as a good value. It does the one thing I wish Casio would do is improve light illumination time. The buttons depress easier than Casio's which is a bonus imo, but can be aggravating to some. The water resistance doesn't exist so purchase accordingly.

Great watch, wristband wears out after a while. Uses a Skmei 1251 band.
Watch is reliable, doesn't drift in time too much, very efficient on battery, has gotten complimented on the look a few times and has a nice user interface. It's also great to be able to see the date without pressing any buttons. The band has fatigued and snapped after many months of putting on and taking off the watch, but If you'd like to find a replacement band, search for Skmei 1251 wristbands.

Inexpensive sports watch that was easy to set up and works well.
I have had this watch for a few days. The included instructions were very basic, but I figured out how to set everything up pretty easily. The watch band is pretty adjustable, fits my fairly wide wrists very well. For the price, about half the cost of the name brand very similar watch it replaced, the watch works well, I am very pleased.

This is a great watch for the price!
I purchased this watch to use mostly down at my cabin. It is well-made, the functions are easy to use, and it has withstood all the abuse I’ve put it through. I wear this while hunting, cutting firewood, riding ATVs, and just running around the timber. If I destroy this watch in six months, it will be well worth the money I paid for it, but I don’t think that’s going happen. It’s stylish enough to wear to the office and just going out. If you’re looking for an every day watch, you’re not worried about destroying, this is the one to get.

Excellent Time Keeper // Terrible Wristband !
The watch itself is fantastic. When I first got it, and set it up, I set it to the time on my computer, which is as accurate as you can get. In the beginning I checked the time accuracy daily. After a few weeks my time checks changed to once, or twice a week. I never had to change the watch's time. The seconds would vary a little, in comparison to the computer clock. But, it never got more than 30 seconds either side of the computer clock. However, the watchband is a big time NO-GO! The buckle, where you connect it on your wrist, can be frustrating most of the time when you are trying to put it on. Once you've got it on, the strap that goes beyond the buckle is held down by a sliding keeper, that slides in and out depending on what you're doing. Terrible design! I wanted to buy a "Twist-a-Flex" wristband, but couldn't find one that matched the unusual design where the straps attach to the watch body. I bought the watch 4 months ago. Today, one of the 4 pins, that connect the straps to the watch body, fell out somewhere, making the watch impossible to wear. Excellent price. Excellent timepiece. Worst design for a wristband that I've ever seen.
