I think I have a boxwood shrub but I've never seen it bloom? What's the best and easiest way to make an ID? I think it may smell like cat pee-pee but I'm not 100% it's not a cat spraying the bushes. I'd love to end my confusion, but I don't have a camera to post a picture.
There isn't a point at the tip of the leaves. It's kind-of long and oval. The color is a light green(almost yellow) to green. I've never seen it bloom or even look like it was.
I've tried my best to ID it on my own, but I just get more confused. There are several kinds of boxwoods and it can be confusing:)
Thanks, Elizabeth
