Question
Unfortunate Fool
Hi,
I have a holly (right) which has recently been stifled by another tree (left). The effects were/are the holly has struggled while the other has flourished. I resolved to thin out the other tree to help the holly recover, especially as most of the lower branches only had leaves at the end of the branch, and once trimmed, only a bare, leafless branch remained, making it look a little spindly. However, I suspect I've gone a little too far with the holly so I would appreciate any advice.
I read I shouldn't have trimmed off the lower branches which worries me, but then I also read that hollies are quite resilient and it should re-shoot.
Give me to straight.
Thanks!
UF.
