My boxwood has turned yellow over the winter, do I trim or will they come back
by

1 Answer

Answer :

This was a very cold winter, I would wait until the last chance of frost has passed.  We live in NE PA and I can tell because the walnut trees are not totally open yet.  After that has passed and you see new growth at the bottom feed them and then trim.
