Winter-Damaged Holly: Will Leaves Regrow?

Holly evergreen has winter-damaged leaves. Will they grow back? How to keep plant alive?

Expert "Coach Dave" Plan

"Winter blight" usually temporary. Trim damaged parts.
If stem rot visible: Apply fungicide to stems/root area.
Leaves regrow faster with trimming + fungicide.
Multiple fungicide apps needed (read label).

Don't panic. Hollies recover well from winter burn with basic care.
