Duration: Perennial, evergreen Origination: JapanEdibility: Not described as edibleStatus in Yard: Front hedge, trimmed

I have a lot of boxwood hedging in the front yard. It lines the walkway to my front door on both sides, and another, longer row runs along the front side of the azaleas, which are in front of the boxwood hedge in front of the sidewalk.

With the boxwood, azeleas, and kusamaki, I have a lot of hedge trimming to keep up with. All three of them are from far east asia. I tell myself I will get rid of them someday, but that's a radical change that would require a lot of work.
