Mulch, water, and fertilize; it should do fine
with the Maple cut down. Hollies are very hardy.
I love hollies and have a yard full of them.
Mostly Nellie Stevens variety, but recently planted
a few of the smaller Japanese hollies as a driveway border.
Hollies are great; they don't grow too tall yet give a
good screen, are low maintainence, hardy, produce attractive
red berries, and do not require LEAF RAKING....!!!
