I am wanting to buy more of a plant that i inherited when i bought my house - i just need to know what species the plant is. At first i thought it could be Buxus, but when comparing to my other topiary the colour is far lighter and the leaves are much more pointed. As well as having long, leggy new growth rather regularly - it is much faster growing than any of my buxus sempervirens. I will post photos and any Help or information would be greatly appreciated

Hi Jordan - strangely enough we've just been discussing topiary on another thread. Try googling Lonicera nitida - that might just be what you have
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Lonicera pileata is another possibilty
Post the photos, then we'll know.
