Boxwood help

I've got a free 5 gal, pot bound boxwood at a nursery, heres the facts:
1) I pruned this fall very hard (oct-nov). Temps dropped to 20F and the remanining foliage dried up but remained green.

2) After being outside and in an unheated garage I brought niside to a window w/morning sun where it stayed for about 3 weeks or so.
****cambium still green at this point.
3) Decided it was not getting much water, was rootbound, root mass was hard to keep moist, not sufficient foliage to keep the roots
4) Repotted 3-4 days ago into pine bark, chicken grit mix. Loads of fine hairy roots left still so soaked in water/superthrive for 30 minutes. sited in window getting morning sun.
***cambium still green this morning.

Any hope for backbudding Thoughts
