Need help identify this boxwood tree

Hello,
I found this boxwood tree and curious what kind of boxwood variety is it? I did google a bit ... looks like only kingsville boxwood being used for bonsai! Is that correct? How can one identify what variety is it if there are 72 of them?





Thanks,
Tim

I have an unidentified one as well.It is not young,so I assume it is a tropical variety(as most of them are) or it would have died down here form a lack of dormancy.Yes,everyone uses Kingsville and the other European one but so what.If the leaves are small and it back buds readily,with good bark and nebari,as mine does and has-well-give it a shot. And a warm welcome to IBC.

I don't know the variety but do know that Kingsville boxwoods are not the only boxwoods used for bonsai. 

Thanks

Looks like common or English boxwood, Buxus sempervirens.

So do several of the tropical species.

I don't know the species but boxwoods, generally, are good for bonsai. Go for it!

Thank you all. I agree. Regardless of the species I will go for it. The tree is about 15 years old and has a nice taper/trunk.

Thanks,
Tim
