WHen is the best time to prune Chinese holly bushes? One of my holly bushes was mistakenly pruned (not by me) this week, January 18th. It was pruned unevenly and almost down to the ground. Can anything be done to save the bush? I live in Massachuseets and hope the severe cold will not kill the bush.

Hi franf,
Your hollys should be just fine. The preferred time to prune is Dec-January. They may take some time to grow back to where they were before they were cut back, but they won't be killed by it as long as they were healthy in the first place. smile
