@powers_plants: You can’t just continuously share the edges of your boxwoods because it stresses them out. They end up getting Volutella Blight and will eventually die. Every 2 to 3 years you wanna cut the top 6 inches off the boxwoods. They will be bare on top, but the sunlight will trigger new growth on the inside of the plant and keep the plant healthy. You can then continue to share the edges and 2 to 3 years later cut the top off again.

I just lost four boxwoods from a boxwood moth infestation. 🥺 They killed one shrub in a few days!

I haven’t heard of this boxwood moth! Is there anything we should be doing to protect our boxwoods from this?

What time of year do you cut down instead of shearing the edges.
