Volutella blight is a common fungal cause of branch death. Prune out dead wood (as you’re doing). Underlying stress—poor drainage, clay soil, drought—often triggers it. Japanese boxwood (B. microphylla) outperforms English (B. sempervirens) in the South; ‘Green Mountain’ hybrid is excellent. Slow-release organic fertilizers (Milorganite, cottonseed meal) match boxwood’s nutrient rhythm.
