How should I properly prune a green velvet boxwood to maintain its shape and health?

To properly prune a green velvet boxwood, start by removing any dead or damaged branches. Then, trim back any overgrown branches to maintain the desired shape. Make sure to use sharp, clean pruning shears to make clean cuts. Avoid cutting into the woody stems as this can harm the plant. Prune in the early spring before new growth begins for best results.
