Pruning Self Seeded Holly
by: Kimberly

Hi, Kimberly here from landscape solutions for you. Thank you for asking the question on your Holly.

I recommend not to prune before you transplant your Holly. Any plant specimen has a chance of going into shock or some distress. Wait until the plant is well established in its new location. If you are going into the warmer season, it would be a good idea to wait until cooler temperatures set in. You can do a light pruning if you want when Holly gets established. Make sure you water properly until roots have been established. If you need a little more information let me know and here is the page on transplanting on this Web site.

Thanks again for asking the question here at landscape solutions for you. Feel free to ask anytime. Have a great day and Happy Easter.
Kimberly
