| We just purchased a house and the previous owner has 3 holly bushes planted directly in front of it (near the windows). My question is do I have to do anything special for them for the winter such as wrapping them, or should they just be left as is?
I live in southern ontario (London area) Thanks, |

| Probably not....here in Kingston, they do quite well without any protection. If they have one winter nemesis, it would be the sun. If your hollies are southern or western facing, I would consider covering one (or two) of them up just to compare the winter impact to the uncovered one. The uncovered one will be fine (it may have some leaf burn) and you'll know for next year if all or none need to be covered. If your hollies are northern or eastern facing, enjoy looking at them this winter, they'll be fine. Could the previous owner not shed light on their winter care? |
