I picture over-pruning them, which would hopefully kill them, then asking my husband to dig them up. Sounds like a good plan, doesn't it? Besides, parts of them look sick. Really.<br />Thankfully, they are near a Juddi Viburnum that's in full bloom - its scent overpowers the cat-pee odor of the boxwoods.

I had this with removing several lilies that were taking over one of our gardens. The college here likes to plants boxwoods everywhere, but I don't get why. As you said, they tend to suffer cold damage in the winter, and look nasty most of the year after, or don't survive winter at all. And then you have a nice hedge missing a foot or two here and there. There's got to be a more friendly hedge option for our region....Br. PlacidusKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02411198696659419547noreply@blogger.com
