Whether or not a dry boxwood can be saved depends on the reason it is dry.

never feed a shrub that is in trouble.it looks like a possible insect or fungus attack.the ivy will eventually choke out the bush remove it.Treat the bush with a systemic insect and fungus control.
Cut off all dead bits and feed it.............
several things I experienced with my boxwood. Don't over trim.. only take off 1/3 per year. If you take off too much it can kill it. Thats what I did after a harsh winter and it spread out from heavy snow. Ivy is very invasive and can kill most scrubs if not controlled. Also huge trees if allowed to climb up the trunks.. it strangles them. Remember with the ivy every place it touches the ground it roots. Many shear the ivy 2-3 times a year to keep it under control
Thank you so much!
