Nellie Stephens Holly Tree

Question

We planted eight holly trees a month ago and several of their leaves are turning yellow and dropping. Any suggestions as to why this is happening and what we can do to make them healthy again?

Answer 1

It could be suffering from shock. Increase watering. Water deeply every time you water them. Also, try adding some root booster fertilizer to the soil. Many nurseries now sell this mix of fertilizer.
