Family Buxaceae

Buxus sempervirens 'Mount Bruno', or 'Mount Bruno' boxwood, is an evergreen shrub native to Quebec, selected for its superior hardiness and remarkable cold tolerance. Its naturally dense and rounded habit, combined with thick dark green foliage, gives it excellent winter performance, even in demanding northern conditions. Highly valued for low hedges, structured borders, formal gardens, or institutional landscaping, it maintains a neat silhouette with minimal pruning. Its slow growth promotes a stable and durable structure, ideal for gardens where consistency is sought. Reliable, robust, and decorative all year round, 'Mount Bruno' is a benchmark boxwood for landscape projects requiring resilience, order, and longevity.
