Pruning Advice
Japanese Holly is an easy-going hedging plant in that it responds well to pruning, but it’s not necessary if you’re happy with an informal and more natural look.
It can be lightly trimmed in spring through til summer to help retain its desired shape and dense, compact growth. Look out for any dead, dying, or diseased stems and remove these to keep it healthy. This timing allows the plant to heal and grow new foliage before the colder months.
As Ilex crenata is quite resilient, it can handle being cut back severely if needed, making it perfect for formal garden designs. For this type of hard prune, aim to do it in spring ahead of its active growth season and after the last frost has passed.
