Ilex Unknown

[berobinson82]

Hey.

I got this ilex (maybe crenata?) from a regular nursery for about $20 in Oct of 2013. Cut it down using an employees' sheers before bringing it home.

I took it back from about 3.5 feet to 10". Let it grow, cut it back, twice.

Just repotted and gave it a rough styling today. 12 inches tall from the lip of the pot.

Cheers,
B

Nice start. Right now it may be a bit too symmetrical but you can change this over the next few repottings by changing the planting angle or making those two lower branches a bit less identical, etc.

Looking good.
