What To Do After Oil Poured On Boxwoods

Question From: ILLINOIS
Q: somone poured oil on the tops of my boxwoods, some of the leaves have turned yellow..is there anything i can do?

A:

I would wash them with a dish soap such as New Dawn and rinse them well. Hopefully they will green up in spring. You may need to trim off the damaged stems, but I would wait until Spring. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy.
