The verdict is in.

First of all thanks to all of you for the good advice.

The fact is that a Westchester condo does not have a lot of room for re-locating plants. As freakish as this guy is, I didnt want to just uproot it.

So I decided to do some vigorous trimming back and see what happens. We are doing quite a bit of perenial planting around the boxwood and that will have to suffice untill...June '09 or thereabouts. I also feel like the experience of waiting it out will be a good way to test/strenthen my revival skills.

Meanwhile here is a picture after the haircut....

Thanks again.
