Trimming boxwoods #820713

Asked February 20, 2023, 9:22 AM EST

I have several linear feet of boxwood hedge. They are approximately 3.5' deep by 3.5' tall. I have heard that late winter to early spring is the best time to do deep trimming. Is this correct? Also, how much can be trimmed each season? Over time, I would like to reduce the size of the hedges.
