| Hollies tend to grow best in an acid, rich, evenly moist yet well-drained (meaning not soggy) soil. They will also do better if protected from wind, especially during the winter. They do better in full sun, although partial shade is also acceptable. Unfortunately, they are naturally very slow growing. Be very careful to keep them mulched and watered, especially in the fall up until the ground freezes. |

| Holly trees normally develop a pleasing and roughly symmetrical shape all on their own. However, should you require a clipped shrub look, you can trim the bushes at any time from spring through late summer. Trimming in the fall may stimulate fresh growth that will not have time to harden sufficiently before winter. The nicest result is achieved by individually pruning out selected branches. You will notice over time that the plant branches and grows denser at the site of each cut, so trimming actually makes it grow thicker.
