Transplanted Holly Bushes Crispy in Dallas Heat: Likely Lost Cause

Why They Failed

Moving established hollies in spring (active growth) in Texas heat = severe root loss + water demand mismatch. Root stimulator and watering can't compensate.

Lesson

Move hollies in fall dormancy. Spring transplanting of broadleaf evergreens in hot climates is high-risk.

Current Action

Cut back to live wood if any appears. But recovery is unlikely.
