Kill stump
I had two well established Korean hollies that were wonderful but they
happened to get the most of the rare sun here. I cut them off. Drove in a few copper nails. Still every year I get to kill the suckers by cutting. It has been about ten years and the sucker growth appears to be slowing. But somehow if I am remiss the hollies will be back Iąd guess with a vengence. Bill -- Garden in shade zone 5 S Jersey USA |

But somehow if I am remiss the hollies will be back Iąd guess with a vengence. When I moved here there were two huge hollies blocking the view at my rear deck (over 15 feet tall and nearly as wide). I started to prune them back but ended up cutting them down and it was no biggie to dig up the stumps... there was no tap root and the side roots were not too big to lop off, was just light digging, they never grew back. I would suggest that if you remove the central root portion your hollies will not grow back. |
