Pruning

Prune in late Winter before growth season. Hollies require litle pruning, unless you are trying to shape them.Avoid shearing unless you want a high-maintenance topiary. . First, cut out dead, diseased, and weak growth. Second, remove branches that do not fit the desired shape or crowd other desired branches. Finally, prune branches/twigs to direct new growth. Proper pruning also will enhance flower and fruit production. When proper pruning techniques are used, wounds do not require wound dressing.
