Q.Holly Bushes
I have holly bushes which have gotten out of hand. They are really thick and tall. Can these be cut back without killing the bush?

Yes, you can cut it back by about a third, though you may not have have to forfeit berries this season. Here is an article that you may find helpful: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/shrubs/holly/trimming-holly-bushes-how-to-prune-holly-bushes.htm
