It does help, and thanks for taking the time to respond. I went crazy on these trees, the yew is probably trashed, but the boxwood has some potential but I was limited to how far I could prune back while leaving some leaves, kind of funny looking at the moment. My hopes is that it'll backbud...

Thread continues to give! Thanks again everyone. Instead of wasting people's time I decided to crawl through a few nurseries today and just get a couple smaller trees. In the bargain bin I was able to get a Yew for $15 and a boxwood for $20. I've attached some photos below for reference. I...
