Hi, I haven't been here for a while so now i wanna show you another tree of me, a Boxwoord shohin. It's about 20 cm in height. It's not a regular boxwood: hi bark is very rough en the leaves are much thicker than the leaves of a, for example, a Buxus Sempervirens. He is also growing much slower than the Sempervirens: Once a year he is getting new shoots, after pruning he does nothing, only shining B) Manuel Germade told me that it is probably a species from Mallorca, where species are growing with the same rough bark. Maybe here's somebody from Mallorca?

the only two other species I know are Microphylia or Harlandii, where the last one is very rare and there are a lot of sub-species of microphylia
