Craig - Do yourself a favor and leave it in the ground until fall. That
way, it will have a chance to develop some root ramification.

Subject: [IBC] digging up ilex crenata


I'm going to be digging up a large ilex crenata next week. It's big--10"
base, 4 ft in diameter roughly. It was pruned late last summer, and Mike
Pollock and I did some root pruning and left it in the ground. I'm
wondering if I can cut it back to no foliage. I've always thought that
broadleaf evergreens need some foliage in order to rejuvenate. Any
thoughts?
