No worries, these Skips will bounce back, even after the tough winter we just experienced!

Skip Laurels (also Cherry Laurels, Hollies and all broadleaf Evergreens) frequently experience some winter burn and also deer browsing, especially if your plants are near an existing woods line. They will lose their leaves and look very weak, even at the end of April. This is normal. “Skips” require a significant stretch of warm weather to rally out of Winter dormancy and fully flush out again. It can be as late as early July before the Skip Laurels are back 100%. Removing any dead branches will greatly speed up the plant’s ability to thrive. Patience is all that is required!
