Common Name: Holly

Our hollies are stuck in the late summer from the current year's growth that has hardened off. We stick a 5-6" cutting. The following growing season we prune them to encourage branching, increase caliper, and for uniformity of size. Depending on variety, they should be from 5" to 10" tall with a good, healthy, happy root system.
