Comments: We have tried to plant hollies under our oak tree with NO success. I think it is just too dry for them to survive. We have a Japanes Kerria and Oakleaf hydrangea under the oak tree and they have survived for 20 years but we need to water the hydrangea on a regular basis, the Kerria seems more drought tolerant and is beautiful in the spring with its yellow blooms. Honestly we have not had much luck growing any holly in our yard, we do have shade and clay soil which is acidic so not sure why they dont thrive.
