[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?

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.

It's going to be cut off and discarded if I don't collect it this spring.

Ah, the vagaries of life! Yep, and the way I'm looking at it, this tree is too good to pass up even though I know I'm pushing it a bit. On the other hand, if I don't collect it it will be compost. So, I'm ahead if it survives, which I think it will.
