This has been #propagated from my mother's bush. It was original to the home my parents bought 65 years ago. 🤔 #southerncalifornia 16 April 2022

I don't think it's a boxwood.

Perhaps it's a Myrtle. Does it flower? Is it evergreen?

Interesting @Racheltheredhead! I didn't know about Myrtles except for Crapes. It is #evergreen. I looked it up and it does flower like the pictures. Well done you! Thank you.
