Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comMy small boxwood was damaged by a snowblower last winter. It looks like a car backed up and crushed half of it. This is a small plant…only 1 year old now…I’m wondering how to best trim it so it comes back again. If that’s even possible. One side is up and rounded but about 1/4 of the shrub is flattened. I have cut off the dead parts already but am wondering how to best trim back the rest so it grows back to something close to ‘normal’.
Thanks for the help.

You may have to prune to shape throughout the growing season.
