Pruning Your Boxwood. 1  1. Know when to prune your tree. Prune boxwood shrubs at any time between the last expected spring frost and six weeks prior to the first expected fall frost. 2  2. Use sharp bypass pruners to trim off dead, injured or diseased branches. Prune them off all the way to the base of the branch.

Remove the leaves from the lower 2 inches of the stem, and wrap the cutting in a damp paper towel until you're ready to plant it.
