Instead prune neglected overgrown shrubs over three years. About one third of the bush should be thinned each year since boxwoods keep their foliage for three years. Thin out thick foliage to allow light and air to reach the inner growth. Prune the whole plant not just the tops that are easily accessible.

Boxwoods because of their dense foliage often die out in the center from a lack of sunlight. Once you have completed renovation by overgrown shrub pruning take the time every year to remove two or three of the older branches. So there may be some trees nearby that have grown too large and need some pruning of their own this winter to help the boxwoods be their fullest. Also remove any dead branches at this time as well as plant debris that accumulates in the center of the shrubs.

Using a bypass pruner reach inside the shrub down to about 6 inches and prune off a few of the inner stems. Try to prune heavily before the growing season begins usually before spring. Further timing the pruning in accordance with the seasonal bloom may lead to overgrown shrubs. Of course the best way to avoid having to cut back overgrown boxwoods is not to let them get overgrown in the first place.
