What is the best time of the year to plant a holly bush? |
In my experience, evergreen hollies are best planted in the spring because this allows them time to establish a good root system before winter. Since they are evergreen, they lose moisture through their foliage all winter and it is important that they be well watered through the fall; the better their roots, the better they are able to absorb that moisture in the fall. Deciduous hollies can be planted in fall or spring. |
