Pruning Your Boxwood. 1  1. Know when to prune your tree. Prune boxwood shrubs at any time between the last expected spring frost and six weeks prior to the first expected fall frost. 2  2. Use sharp bypass pruners to trim off dead, injured or diseased branches. Prune them off all the way to the base of the branch.
When planting your boxwood, make sure you dig your hole twice as wide as the root ball but don't dig it any deeper than the roots. Fill in around the root ball with a rich loamy soil to encourage the roots to grow quickly. Don't plant the boxwood any deeper than it was in its pot.
