I then adjusted C5 and re-tested the thenar eminence - it was fine, elicited no pain, and her hand stopped tingling. I finished treating her and told her to return in two days. At the second visit, I tested the thenar eminence).
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.
It's very easy to prune, you just come in and I use, what I call, thinning. And that's where you reach in, and you prune out whole branches. You'll notice, if you prune that way, you're getting out lots of greenery, completely inside the boxwood. So, if you ever get damage from wind or snow, or somebody running into a boxwood. You've got greenery inside, it's easy to do, you just do this. You just pull a plant, if you're able to.
