I purchased 2 of these little boxwood shrubs in pots, and I couldn't be more impressed with the look of the real deal.  You actually have to touch it to see for yourself.  With a lack of water on the West coast, and the fact that we are retired and want to spend time doing other things other than watering, this was the best option for us.  They are so decorative and really add to the curb appeal of our home.  When I figure how much it costs to water, feed, and trim the shrubs, the price of these beauties, is very cost effective.
