Blue Prince/Princess Holly Care in Sandy Wisconsin Soil

Three hollies (1 male, 2 female) in N. Wisconsin sandy/rocky soil. First year good with berries. Winter burn top 8 inches. Questions: prune burn? Fertilize with Miracid or Holly-tone?

Pruning

Wait until snow melts, then prune dead tips. Early spring before new growth.

Fertilizing

Acid-loving fertilizer: cottonseed meal, rhododendron fertilizer, Miracid, or Holly-tone—all good. Apply early spring or late autumn. Water after.
