Brian,
Good, especially if you are after boxwood because I strongly believe these are not.
I've dug many of both to know the difference. Looking at the pics again, it just clicked...the debris is very telling. Boxwood dead branches are not like those at all. They actually do not fall like that and usually dead branches rot on the tree unless cut. Old boxwood trunk and branches are also rarely round, they tend to have sinewy muscle like veins.
What I see in the pics are all ilex traits. Don't get me wrong, ilex is not bad, I love working with them too actually.
