Thanks. I will check into the dwarf yaupon holly.

Yep, I knew it was "Photinia". I momentarily forgot, though. Thanks for
the correction.

Why not try our native dwarf yaupon holly? They grow to about 3 feet tall
and
wide, form a really nice round shape and require very little water or
fertilizer
once established. They are also not prone to any diseases or pest
insects.

BTW, not trying to be "Miss Correction" but they are Red Tipped Photinia.

I have some Red Tipped Phenias in my yard that are about 5 or 6 feet

They are too big for my taste and I want to replace them with some type

short shrubs that I can keep at 2 to 3 feet tall.

When is a good time for planting shrubs?

Thanks,
