Ideally, hedges should be pruned in late winter, when plants are dormant and haven't produced budsâparticularly if you're cutting back drastically. You don't want them to break bud before you prune because you want the plant's energy to go toward producing new growth where you want it, says Roger.
Boxwood can be pruned easily and has the ability to grow from old wood. To maintain trimmed forms and hedges you need to prune them twice a year. The first time should be done around late May or mid-June, after the first growth spurt. You can prune for a second time in September or October so the plants will look tight when winter comes. It is best to do it when the weather is cloudy to reduce the chance of burning the leaves. By cutting them you damage part of the leaves and these will turn brown.
