Thanks! BTW, I'm writing up an article on Horticultural Pruning, using you as a reference and using the photos I took when you were showing us how to help the boxwoods at Aspen Hill. Thank you for that inspiration! When I was at Reynolda House (historic estate turned museum) in Winston-Salem last week, I saw that they were doing extensive horticultural pruning... long lines of boxwoods that were 6 or 8 feet tall had been chopped to half that height in Feb and were already putting up new growth. So don't be afraid to really go at a boxwood that's looking poorly!
