Clearance rack yaupon holly

[Nemoose]

3 gal ilex for $7.50. I love the taper and what I can see of the nebari. Just cleaned up the base a little to get a better look at the trunk. Not going to do much more until spring. I think i am seeing a shohin broom. I love the look of the live oaks in my yard. Looking at that style. Suggestions?

I love Ilex's...but I've had terrible luck keeping them alive.
I think I over worked mine.
I'd take it slow with the pruning.

I killed my first one too. Slow cut back and repotting in the spring
and see where it goes

Chop it back freely in spring. It will reward you.

cut them and repot right when they start spring budding up until April here in FLA. I usually do a lot of mine in February. They don't do well wired, most branches too stiff and crack. Cut and Grow for the most part.
