Deadwood Head
On Christmas day, I was at a relative's home and noticed this stump outside the garage. It was a 12'-15' tall American Holly, he wants it gone. It was cut down over a year ago.
I went back the next day and "root pruned it" by driving the long spade down, all the way around, had to chop a couple large ones. Hopefully this will encourage new root growth in the root ball over the winter. I will dig it up as soon as I can in spring. Hopefully it will survive the move, so I can let it become established in a container for a couple seasons, and then begin some surgery. Any thoughts are appreciated! Thanks.
