Overgrown Yaupon Hollies

Question

I have purchased a home where the Yaupon hollies are way overgrown. What will happen if I cut them all the way back to have a fresh start? Any suggestions? They are all across the front of my home.

Answer 1

They need a type of pruning called rejuvenation pruning. This article contains information on that: http://www.hort.purdue.edu/ext/HO-4.pdf
