Q.Should I snip off or trim yellowed leaves from my boxwood

Zone Pa. Northeast | Adelejune added on April 25, 2014 | Answered

Boxwoods have yellowed on top probably due to winter winds. Do I snip them or trim them now or leave them alone hoping that they will recover with more green growth this summer. How should I treat them now?

This is a condition know as "winter bronzing," and happens after unusually severe winters. While the plants should recover, they will look much nicer if you trim away the discolored foliage.
