Default Transplanting a holly bush

I want to put a holly bush in a gap in between existing holly bushes. Can
they be bought in a pot? If so, when is the best time to plant etc?


Yes - any time but better when it's not too hot and dry. Keep an eye on water
requirements during the first summer. A Holly as big as the one you have will
move *if* you move it with a really big root ball - like just about possible
with a couple of big blokes helping you. You will need care and knowhow to keep
the rootball intact during the move. So unless you are a real glutton for work
and are absolutely skint; buy one in a pot - as big as you like/are willing to
pay for.
