This video is a detailed description of Compacta Holly. These low maintenance evergreen shrubs are perfect foundation plants. Compact Hollies can be kept between 3 and 6 feet in height and width. Very few insect or disease problems on these or any other Japanese Hollies.

This video was super helpful. I have tried everything to prevent my hollies from having dead limbs with no luck. You answered more questions in this video than anyone I have talked to or paid to resolve this issue. Thanks!!
exactly what i needed help with since i have a few and had no clue how to take care of them….
I have a 15 year old compacta holly that I am tempted to do a hard rejuvination prune because it has gotten too big for it's location. This video has given me the courage to go for it. I will probably do it in early May 2023. ( zone 7 Maryland...a week before our last frost date) Hopefully it will respond well and I will be able to maintain it at a smaller size until I am ready to redo the entire border. Just wanted to thank you for the old videos as well as the new ones. Your channel is a very good resource.
Oh my!! This was very helpful. I am in a new built house and was told we had boxwood but it actually these. This really help.
I know I'm quite off topic but does anyone know a good website to watch new series online ?
@Isaac Kase I would suggest Flixzone. Just google for it =)
Your videos are so very helpful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you for such quality information. I am looking for about a 6’ evergreen for a hedge. I like this compacts holly, but also wonder if you have any others you would recommend for 7b. If I do a compacta holly, I live in Utah with a lot of snow, but not a lot of wind. Would wrapping them in burlap help them survive the winter?
Jim, I been trying to identify a Holly, where can I post a picture of it for your help? Enjoy your content
Fast forward still soem of the cheaper options at the nursery.
I planted these as a hedge in an open area. I am in zone 6a. Should I be worried about them dying on me due to getting too cold and not being shielded from wind by the foundation?
I'm a landscaper in SC. Holly compacto/boxwoods are always in demand. I'm thinking about propagating for future opportunities.
I just purchased a new home on an acre of land. There is nothing on that land; i plants a hedge of compacta holly around the outline of the land for a natural 6 ft hedge. It faces South, I'm in the fort worth/Dallas area. It rarely snows here. Did I make a mistake planting all them? Please help
That was helpful, we are planting these in new built planters , what soil should we use to fill the planters please? and then you mentioned mulch...do we had this to the top around the base of the plant? thank you
Are the Japanese Holly Compactas deer resistant?
Can I use them as a barrier wall type plant. My neighbor tore her chain fence and it's been sitting for a year...
I wonder how well these would do in an outdoor container garden?
Great video - thanks............was considering this plant for a dry and full sun spot as a foundation plant in zone 7 - however I'm now concerned it may be too dry for the spot. Can you recommend another plant (same size range) perhaps a juniper?
I wanted to put these in front of a 12 ft porch flanked by a sidewalk and more flower bed...how many should I put across the front? I don’t just want a hedge, I want to be able to see the shape. But it says they should be planted 6ft apart?
I bought six compacta holly plants 3 weeks ago. I forgot to water them and the leaves on them became papery.
I soaked all of them a week ago. I water them 3 times for the past seven days, but have not seen any improvement. The leaves are still papery. Will they shoot out new leaves? Am I able to revive them? What should I do? Please help !!!
It will take a long time for new growth. Don't overwater them in the meantime
@@JimPutnam As you said it will take a long time for new growth, did you mean few weeks, few months or more?
Is it true that this variety of Ilex Crenata is strictly male?
Can compacta holly survive in pots in Kansas?
How about deer resistant?
Are they deer proof ?
Best solution for deer is google deer resistant plants or use a deer spray , or for nice look and can help is a cedar split rail fence to detour them . But most can find a way if really want but deer spray works well , im having to spray my hibiscus cause they keep comming back to snack
Do I need to get rid of the papery leaves or even trim them?
How long will it take for new grow usually?
Thank you Jim
Just leave them alone until the growth starts coming back. Then cut it back to the new growth
Does the compacta holy have any odor?
No odor with the Hollie’s I’m planting compactas for customer to day and just did a sniff test 👍
Nice video sir
+Steven Nash Thank you.
great videos, do you have one on dahoon hollies?
I don't, but I should. It's a native in my area.
Great video! Can I plant these now? July? Or is it best to wait until Spring?
I would definitely plant them now. I usually do a small amount of pruning when planting this time of year. That reduces the amount of water the plant is using
I hate these things. Every time I’ve planted these shrubs, at least one of them start browning at the bottom, even with a routine watering regiment.
