Choose a spot with well-drained soil. Dig the hole as deep as and approximately twice the width of the root ball. Holding the tree, carefully place it into the hole, making sure the trunk is straight. Backfill the soil, water to settle the roots, and cover the planting area with an organic mulch. Be sure to keep mulch 3 inches away from the trunk of the tree. 2. Watering: Once established, your Holly Tree will not need much supplemental watering. Be sure to inspect the tree and surrounding soil for extreme dryness during extended dry spells and water if necessary. 3. Fertilizing: We recommend not fertilizing unless your Holly Tree begins losing its dark green color due to a lack of nutrients. If necessary, use just a balanced fertilizer (labeled 12-12-12) or an evergreen formula and follow the manufactures instructions.
