Buxus arborea is a species of plant that belongs to the Buxaceae family and is native to Jamaica. It is at risk due to the loss of its natural habitat. This dicot plant can grow as a shrub or tree, reaching heights of 2-12 meters and producing wood. Its leaves are compound and typically grow alternately on stems. The plant produces small capsules that contain tiny seeds, which are a food source for birds. Buxus arborea has various uses, including wood carving and creating hedge structures. It can be found in certain parts of the United States, such as New York, Ohio, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. However, it should be handled with caution as it can cause skin rash, vomiting, or diarrhea if exposed to its leaves. This plant thrives in warm temperatures and is best grown outdoors.
