Your holly should be straight Bear fruit, then remember that this very much are poisonous. Under no circumstances should they get into the hands of children. Few berries are fatal to them.

Transplant subsidence

Got your holly by lowering it increased, then leave them on the old plant for about two years. Then it has enough time to form strong roots. The holly grows quite slowly. Only then do you look for a suitable location and move the young plants.

The holly does not need any additional fertilizer if the soil is good, but you are welcome to add some well-rotted compost to the planting hole when planting. Do not forget to water the Ilex well, then it will soon recover from the stress of moving.
