Care
Be sure to choose the appropriate location for your Dwarf Buford Holly. As
long as you avoid extreme temperatures and the ground isn't frozen you
can plant your Holly almost any time of the year.
This holly thrives in full to part sun and prefers a slightly acidic soil.
Although it does tend to adapt just about any well-draining soil. After
planting, adding a layer of 2 to 3 inches of mulch will help keep the soil
moist. Mulching is highly recommended in cooler zones to protect the
plant's roots in winter as well. Do not allow the mulch to touch the trunk as
this increases the chances of pests and disease. Water your Holly deeply a
couple times a week for the first few months. After Hollies are established,
they only need watered during hot, dry spells. Fertilize in spring with a slow
release fertilizer for broad leaf evergreens. This holly does not require
pruning, but they tolerate it well if you prefer to keep them a certain size or
shape.
