Rarefind Nursery did carry BUXUS microphylla 'Kingsville', at one point. Don't know if they are out of stock yet or not. Good luck. PattiOh Here is a link that might be useful: Rarefind Nursery, BUXUS microphylla 'Kingsville'

I never hear Berenson Hardware mentioned, but it's what I used. My cabmaker recommended it. They have some dark finishes, including matte black. Berenson is usually sold through dealers, like my cabmaker, but it is available on-line through sites such as thehardwarehut.com and edirecthardware.com. My handles and pulls were something like $6.60, installed, from my cabmaker. The pulls I've shown below are 4.09 from hardware hut. You can see all their collections, and read about their finishes, on the Berenson website. Here is a link that might be useful: Berenson Hearthstone

Did you ever find a mail order source for these?

floral-UK: Well, I'll admit that this is an area where where geography matters. My parents have lots of our native North American wild cherries (prunus serotina) growing near the coast in spots where they occasionally get sall spray and often get lots of wind. I'll try to get a picture when I go down for Christmas. This is in an area much colder then Scotland. Some English websites I checked recommended wild cherries (prunus avian) for this situation. However, I noticed sites say your English wild cherry doesn't grow in northern England. I've planted several holly within 80 feet of the ocean in a very windy spot, including a couple Emglish holly. The blue holly does great, the English holly gets wind burn but survives. Beech is is great with wind. Sort of average with salt. I did see it recommended for this purpose on some British websites. Probably something you should plant a bit set back from the coast. Part of of this depends on how close to the coast she is talking about. Even 200 feet from the water you have a lot more options then 20 feet. I think this is part of the reason for discrepancies in what is recommend. Also, I feel you should think of different plants for right near the water then for a bit farther. If you have the space,, a couple rows of different species is good. To the OP: Look up lists of windbreak trees, lists of native trees, and list of salt-tolerant trees and cross reference them.
