This is my very first tree that I've collected. This Boxwood is important to me because it really got me excited to learn all I can about Bonsai. Kinda bummed about how it's doing...
I've been researching and winter burn seems pretty common with box. Thats what i thought was going on. it was over wintered in my unheated shed. Then I was reading about when the soil freezes and we have unseasonably warm days for a stretch, the leaves look to pull water from roots but can't because soil is frozen. So basically it dehydrates.. I guess it comes out of dormancy? So I have a boxwood that I really like not looking to good... I guess my question is how do I prevent this from happening? If that's what's going on. And also should I trim off dead leaves? And does it look like what I described? Has anyone had the same problem?
Here's some pics. I did post this in other thread but wanted some more input from you guys. Thanks
