THE HOLLY HEDGE Last winter my holly bushes had only a few berries and I didn't know why. I thought it was due to extreme weather conditions, but I found later that it had nothing to do with winter snow or wind. I talked with several gardeners who asked me the same question, "Have you fed them lately?" My answer was, "NO. I didn't know it was necessary for a berry harvest." I had missed several seasons so bought a twenty-five pound bag of Holly Tone and applied it in the spring and fall. To my surprise it made all the difference. The holly shrubs are covered with berries (more than I have ever seen on the hedges). The moral of the story is: Feed the holly plants twice a year for ripe, luscious, berries.
