box hedge

Shaped evergreen barrier

A box hedge is a row of box shrubs trimmed into a dense, formal barrier.

Box plants have small evergreen leaves that respond well to shaping, making them ideal for creating neat garden borders and geometric designs: The manor's gardens featured immaculate box hedges surrounding the rose beds.

Also called boxwood hedge.
