    You might want to pull up the little guys, stick down into old/free plastic pots with simple lawn/garden dirt, water once in a while and take 'em to your outdoor market...I made over $250 last year on small holly plants! My daughter's house...Holly House...has a 40 ft. wall of mature holly trees for a natural border and cuts the most beautiful berries for the holidays!

      No berries on the mother tree? Then you'll most likely want to sell them as "security hedges". They don't get berries for a couple of years...but I get if there isn't a market and they are a nuisance.

    Can you post a photo,as I have never heard of Holly taking over a yard.
    • Susan Susan on May 02, 2017

      LOL! Me either. I counted 13 of them yesterday, that was just the side of our property, tomorrow I'll count the rest. Some are 5 to 6 ft tall, some are inches. No berries, just prickly leaves.

We have a large holly tree in our back yard very near our deck. Every spring this tree attracts wood boring bees.
Jody L Jody L Answered on Mar 18, 2012

Any suggestions how to ward off the hole drilling pests? Can't remove the tree till the bee cycle is done......a bit perilous for the tree removal crew.
