    Only got "charity " and the species aquifolium, but it's about age and pruning.
    After a few years you can prune them back and they then become multi stemmed but from a single main stem.
    "Charity" cuttings I have tried always seem to grow in a single stem until you give them a prune, after flowering.

      Ahh, I thought that might be the case. If I wanted instant impact, do you think planting three together in a group would work?
