Two small boxwoods suffered in last year's drought. They had some golden areas that are green again but also have about one small, bare section each. Should I just throw them out or will they ever fill in again?
I just noticed one very old, lovely, but not too big dogwood has some bare branches at the very top. Is is on it's way out or fixable? Should I just cut it now or wait to see what happens in the spring?

Anna, I would wait until Spring on both your boxwoods and your Dogwood. See how they come out then make the judgement call.

I agree with 4S. Plants are amazingly resilient. See how they look next spring.

Thank you for your insight. I'm happy to give them more time...I do love them just where they are.
