I need you to hold me to this- never buy a holly again. They are stressful.

I bought these Burford hollies because of the nice girthy trunks. But that doesn’t hide the straight-as-a-stick characteristic, with no chance of alteration via wire.

Right now, I hope to trunk chop them in the spring with my yaupons. They have great potential and beautiful leaves, but I just cannot work with them right now.
