Gembox Inkberry Hollies
5 years ago
Hi everyone, I have no idea what to do about these plants that I love dearly. I bought 5 to make a hedge a few years ago and they aren't looking at all like I imagined. They're supposed to be lush, but they loose leaves every year. I've moved them three times. Any suggestions on how I can fix this, or save them? The last picture is how they're supposed to look. I'm in Iowa, zone 5. Thanks in advance.
