A Closer Look At My Holly Bush

Welcome and thank you so very much for watching 🌿 Let’s take a closer look at my Holly Bush!

When we first moved here this perennial evergreen was a tiny stump of a thing. Someone had cut it back to nothing trying to get rid of it. Thankfully it survived. I have a feeling it’s been here since the house was built back in 1874. They can grow up to 10-50 feet tall and spread right out. 

Holly is raised from seeds, which do not germinate until the second year, hence the berries are generally buried in a heap of earth for a year previously to being sown. The young plants are transplanted when about a foot or 18 inches high, autumn being the best time for the process. If intended for a hedge, the soil around should be previously well trenched and moderately manured if necessary. Holly exhausts the soil around it to a greater extent than most deciduous trees. At least two years will be needed to recover the check given by transplanting. Although always a slow grower, Holly grows more quickly after the first four or five years.
