Dig a hole 2-3 times the depth and width of the rootball, place your Holly, and then backfill the soil without compacting too tightly.
2. Watering: Water your Greenleaf American Holly Shrub often, ensuring the soil stays moist until it is well established. Once established, you should only need to water during dry periods.
3. Fertilizing: Fertilize your Greenleaf American Holly annually in the early spring with slow release fertilizer for acid-loving shrubs like Holly-Tone.
