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.
PRUNING & SHEARING. 1  Do not shear your boxwood, this encourages leaf growth only at the perimeter of the plant, which is not enough to sustain the plant long-term. 2  Instead you should prune your boxwood to encourage light & air in the center of the plant.
