Boxwood Leaves Turn Straw Colored But Have Green Near Base

Question From: t. barker - Hanover, Massachusetts, United States
Q: are my boxwood dead leaves straw color a little green near bottom shoulf i pull them out

A: Let nature take its course Thelma. There are latent buds beneath that will hopefully develop into new leaves and you don't want to damage them. Fertilize your holly with the organic based fertilizer such as Holly Tone by Espoma according to package directions. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy
