Accidental Fire

My boxwoods accidentally got burned with fire. One bush was engulfed and the other two were half burned before we were able to douse with water. Are they dead or by any chance will they come out of this?

Unfortunately, your photo did not come through. Many times, these shrubs can come back from the root, just fine. This is even true with serious damage.

They may take a few years to be back to shape, but they will likely survive.

Here is an article that will help you to provide the best care to ensure that they have the best chance of return: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/shrubs/boxwood/boxwood-care.htm ^[1]
