Question
I live in Dallas Texas and have dug up and transplanted some established 3' high holly bushes to a new bed.  I used root stimulator and have watered regularly in well drained soil.  I have even given them some miracle grow topsoil & food, but they look like they are absolutely frying!  They are quickly turning crispy brown and losing all of their green leaves.  I fear I cut away too much of the root system.  If I cut back the shrubs, I will only have sticks.  How can I save them?

Answer
Donna,

I am afraid that there is little that you can do to save these plants. If the plants haven't responded to the root stimulator by now, I do not think they will. In the future, wait until the fall to move plants such as this- moving plants in the spring is very risky.
