    I just noticed yesterday that my male holly is dropping leaves and branches from the top. He's about 15 years old, and his bride, who lives just about 4 feet to his right, is doing just fine. She's full and perfect looking although she has a few dead leaves. He's got what looks like fresh healthy branches sprouting toward his base. Should I "top" the tree and let him concentrate on the lower new growth?
