I'd say so.  I have a holly tree and a holly-leaved laurel, both around 15
ft. (that's a wild guess, they may be taller).  The house was built in
1952, and the original landscaping has sort of out-grown the (tiny) yard
since then.  In addition to the hollies, we found two orange trees (and 2
large stumps left in the lawn), a Magnolia grandifolia, a Carolina cherry
laurel, a Pittosporum tobira (now a tree), several shiny xylosmas (also
trees), and a Nandina domestica forest.  Nice plants, but they would look a
lot better in a larger yard.

Sherryl, not very good at thinning, either
