If the temperature drops below 40℉, while no immediate changes might be visible in winter, branches can become brittle and dry in spring, with no new growth appearing.

Symptoms
During summer, Common boxwood should be kept below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 90℉, the plant's leaves might lighten in color, tips may dry and shrivel, and it becomes more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Remove any parts that are sunburned and dried. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade cloth for cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
