Hi,

For holly trees the soil hole should be:

Width = 9-12 in. in diameter/every 1 in. of tree diameter
Depth = 6 in./every 1 in. of tree diameter

Dig the new hole twice the size of the root ball. Plant the root ball even with the ground surface and fill the hole with good top soil and mulch around the tree with not more than 3 inches of mulch (do not pile the mulch up on the tree trunk) and water through the first summer.

Do not fertilize the first year after transplanting.
