How To Prune Holly Bush Or Tree
I ordered my hollies on Sunday and they were at my home on Wednesday. They were beautiful, healthy plants that had no indication they had ever been shipped in a box. I will always check with Gardener Direct first when ordering plants online. I was impressed.
The plants themselves look great.
