An Ugly Ilex Schillings

Collected a little less than a month ago and now It's starting to send out buds everywhere. These photos are from when It was first collected.

The base on that looks pretty nice Could be a very nice one in a couple of years. Those have a small leaf and should look awesome.

Nice! I've always had luck with these when chopped really hard during collection. Leave too much foliage and your risk of losing will be greater.

Good luck!

I would cut a few of the branches still like so...

Yeah, the branches will definitely be cut back harder eventually it was really just an initial trim. I cut back what I knew I wouldn't need and then just left the rest.
