Holly bush/tree

[Capt Worley PE]

Is a holly a bush or a tree? I've heard both. We had a holly tree in my parent's yard, and I hated it. Was about 20 feet tall.

We have a 'bush' growing next to the house. I've been told if we keep it trimmed, it'll stay a bush, but if left unchecked will turn into a tree.

Hmm. Maybe it's better to wax it.

Keep that bush in check before you have a big, girthy hardwood on your hands.

I've seen pictures where it could be trimmed to look like a landing strip. But I definately agree with Benbo's recommendation.

I've heard of trimming the hedges, but you've done scorched the earth.

All I know, is that hollies are classified as angiosperms.

I've been told waxing the twig and berries isn't a good idea.

I've heard that if your clear out the underbrush it's supposed to make the trunk look bigger.

I've heard that if your clear out the underbrush it's supposed to make the trunk look bigger.

I thought that made the trunk look longer.

If you went for the Brazilian, your dilemma over how to trim would be completely solved, at least for the time being until new growth emerged.

Let me explain: What the Brazilians do is... No, nevermind, it's too hard to explain in words. Let me draw you a picture.
