Holly Gocrisply

hollycrisp

D. - wazzamattah with muh holly? The newer-growth leaves are all brown and crunchy (older growth still green and glossy). Is she just not getting enough water? Is it time for a Hollytone throw-down? Should I cut the brown stalks off? The male's looking a little ragged too - the second female seems fine.

Water, yes.
Prune, yes.
H-tone, not yet.
Prayer, definitely.
Excerise of 1 yr guarantee, maybe.

Thanks. Watering and pruning on to-do list for tomorrow.

Wuz by yer place today (werk related, don't ask), and saw the holly. Unbeknownst to me they were nitrogen-junkies when we planted them; only the new growth is damaged. This means the grower 'pushed' them too much late in the season w/ fertilizer, so they didn't 'harden off'. They should recover, though. Providing you can live with them.
