Kingsville Boxwoo Emergency

[Bonsai_hope]

I have this kingsville boxwood for a few years. It wasn’t watered for about a week and the leaves are turning yellow. I scratched the bark and the cambium seems green. The soil is damp now and I water it for 5 minutes a day using a watering system. All advice is appreciated

Treat it as normal. Don't overcorrect watering and keep it too wet. Once you see new growth, whatever still looks dead can be removed. Work on not letting the watering mishap happen again.

Thank you. I have a front porch that’s visible from the street. I like to rotate my trees on the porch from my work area out back. Unfortunately this area is not on my regular watering schedule. I need to correct that.

Sounds like an easy fix.

Putting a bonsai out on a front porch where it can be seen by the public is just asking for a theft. Even if it is not worth much other than to you personally, thieves cruising your neighborhood might think otherwise and decide to check out your back yard as well.
