Buxus flowers are rather insignificant; their seeds are in an not-very-noticeable fruit that quickly dries to a capsule. Here's an example. Note that this is a close-up of the flowers. If you're looking for a broadleaf evergreen with showy fruits, then you'd be better off with an Ilex.

Only female plants produce berries - except for the cultivars 'J. C van Tol' and 'Pyramidalis' which are self fertile and do produce berries without the need for a male plant in the vicinity. The only way to know if a particular one is female or male when buying a plant is by its varietal name. In respect of the one you have, unfortunately, there are several ...

Just as Miracle fruit (Synsepalum dulcificum), the curry plant starts growing with a tall/deep tap root. If the pot is small, it starts circling at the bottom of the pot.
The pot size really depends on how old/large the plant is. If the plant is less than 6-8” tall, star with 1 gallon plant. As it grows bigger, you may need to repot in the larger size pot ...
