Growing holly as a pot plant?

Posted: 06/01/2013 at 10:14

I have a holly tree in a pot. It was a seedling from a tree in dad's garden which he potted up for me. I have been growing it for ten years. Repotting is a painful process because it is so prickly. It is now about 4' tall and had it's first ever red berry this winter (just one).

Hi all. I thought I would pop in and wish you all a happy new year. I don't come here often because I never have the time to keep up!

It's a bit misty down here at the sussex seaside and not windy (for a change). Lots of my snowdrops have come up and the rosemary is in flower so I am feeling very springlike. I am going to undecorate my holly and apple trees this morning. I tied red bows on them to cheer my garden up for Christmas. Dad said that the birds would pull them off but the sparrows have completely ignored them.

Just popping in for a quick read and to aaaahhhh over photo's of tiny horses. Am sat in the garden in the dark being bombarded by moths.

My Gardeners Delight definitely have blight so they will be for the chop tomorrow. This will be the first time I have ever had it (in ten years), so I suppose I have been lucky up to now. The tumbling toms are in a completely different part of the garden and they still look OK so I am keeping my fingers crossed.
