Thanks Paul (and Janet too).

Looks like I may have to decide whether to lose that holly then or
rethink my plans.

At least I have time to decide - we are having some building work
done, so there'll be no major garden overhaul until that's finished,
so it'll probably be this time next year.

Hi,


My seconf problem is a holly tree, about 6 foot tall which is just
where I dont want it. I would like it in the front garden but am
concerned about the practicalities of diggin it up and moving it (we
have a garage is can be carried though) withou getting our hands, arms
and faces scratched to pieces. Any suggestions.


holly is notorious for not liking to be transplanted - it put down a deep
tap root which you break on digging out.

You could of course always turn the Holy into a nice if somehwat large
standard, just cut back all the lower leaves and form a nice roudned ball on
top !!!
