Please help me identify this plant!

9 years ago

I bought this plant 20 years ago--originally it was a topiary with 3 balls. The local nursery told me it's a Korean boxwood but I can't find any information about it online. I decided to change its look and pruned it drastically. I rooted the cuttings and all of them are doing very well. It's an evergreen and the leaves are no bigger than an apple seed.

I have six of the Buxus microphylla that look like the koreana variety that I have pruned into squares in the front yard -- not sure if you can see them on the photos below.

The plant in question look like a miniature version of it. If you notice the foliage on the up close view (previews post) the leaves have pointed tips whereas the koreana is more rounded. Also, as I mentioned, the leaves are no bigger than an apple seed -- they are 3 times smaller compared to the koreana variety. This one have not produced any blooms at all (in all of 20 years).
