Planting and Care Tips
Plant
Set the Oak Leaf Holly Tree in well-draining, slightly acidic soil with the root ball level to the ground, spacing about 8–10 feet apart for a hedge or landscape feature.
Feed
Feed once in early spring with a slow-release fertilizer formulated for acid-loving plants to encourage lush foliage and berry production.
Water
Water deeply once or twice a week during the first year, keeping soil consistently moist but not soggy.
Prune
Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to shape and remove any dead or crossing branches.
Exposure
Plant in full sun to partial shade, with at least 6 hours of sunlight daily for the best color and density.
