HOW TO: Shape a Boxwood shrub

Tips, Tricks

1. nice video man, I trimmed some of these bushes the other day and this video was awesome to watch..what do u use to get the clippings?? I usually use this small leaf blower I have that works for like 10mins and rake the rest but there always seem to be extra clippings that I miss
2. My boxwoods hedges and balls when newly trimmed turn yellow, like burned, and takes quite long to drop those unsightly leaves. I trimmed a couple weeks ago and still a problem. It wasn't very warm or dry at the time. What do you think the problem is?
3. how old is this boxwood? I am doing a job and the customer wants to know how long it will take their boxwoods to mature. They are in 3 gallon pots right now.
4. it was already shaped.........you just trimmed it
5. Great content as always. I'm trying to grow a hedge I want the it 16 ft horizontal and 4 ft height. How many boxwoods would I need, the size and spacing for those dimensions. Thanks!
6. BOB BOB BOB - I copied your video and now I also have gaps in ma box Bob??????????
7. How do you clean up the mess, why didn't you put sheets around to catch the clippings
8. Take an old shower curtain (or something similar) and cut a dinner plate sized hole in the center. Then cut a straight line from the hole to one of the corners. Place the plastic under the boxwood and around the base before you trim/prune/shape. Carefully remove the plastic and shake/dump the clippings into your recycling bag and save yourself the time and effort of raking up/picking up the clippings when you're done. Can't imagine cleaning up clippings after trimming 30 boxwoods!
