Holly leaves aren't everlasting. The difference between deciduous and
evergreen trees is that deciduous trees dump all their leaves in one go
whereas evergreen dump a few at a time all the year through. If it's
only a few yellow leaves, it's normal.

Actually hollies dump the leaves they don't want any more over the early
summer. If like mine they dump on the lawn, mowing is is a grass cutting
and hoovering exercise.
