choisya noun[ C or U ] uk /ˈtʃɔɪ.si.ə/ us /ˈtʃɔɪ.si.ə/ a kind of evergreen bush (= one that never loses its leaves), with shiny leaves and white flowers that smell very sweet: Choisya can make a good hedge with deliciously scented white flowers, and is really tough. I've read that pruning choisyas is unnecessary. The lime green leaves of the compact shrub Choisya ternata "Sundance" provide a welcome splash of light in the winter garden. Choisya, mahonia, and berberis are very difficult to move once established.
