I can' t thanks to you, i also realized that thei thought was doing poorly isn' t a holly at all! It' s a leatherleaf mahonia and the new growth on it this year is beautiful.

@squidsquiddly59704 years ago Thank you these were super helpful tips! I had to go out and look and sure enough i had suckers on some of my trees that had to go.
also weird" i live in zone 6b and was given a pink oleander bush as a gift by someone who did not realize how far north i lived. Those are super tropical plants and i was sure it would just be a one year thing. Well. It came back. It grows out from the base/bottom during spring after i hack it back to about 9 inches and it gets like 2 feet tall before winter, even has flowers at the moment. Have you ever heard of this? I thought it was bizarre. It is in aspot. People are always asking me what it is and getting a shock when i tell them. ...Expand 1
