Some folks here in the South have had some problems with disease on their American Boxwoods. Sections of the shrub will just die out. This is probably due to consistently wet soil conditions.

Fertilize in spring with a well-balanced, slow-release shrub and tree food. If chlorosis develops (yellowing of the foliage) apply additional Iron or sulphur.

Though American Boxwood can be sheared, there is no need for pruning. It keeps a dense, rounded conical shape all on its own.
