New Nursery Tree

[cmsheehan]

Hello everyone! Happy 2023….
I recently purchased this tree from a local nursery. I’m thinking she is a Yaupon Holly, but I’m not quite certain. Has a nice double trunk and I think has potential as long as patience stays strong. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hello, I can't really see the trunk but one option may be to pull them apart and work them separately/ differently. For instance plant one in the ground to beef up while you learn on the other...

Thanks for the reply! So the trunk(s) are actually attached at the base, I won’t be able to pull them apart without splitting them. I also live in New England so Snow and cold right now. I will take another picture of the trunk and post it here. Thanks!

This is the Trunk / base. I’m almost positive they are attached together.
