Dear jrussell927, good morning. I've communicated with our horticulturalist, and he provides this response for you. "This is a classic example of hard frost damage on tender, newly emerged foliage. Coaxed out by early warm temps (and non native like this Ilex cornuta 'Burfordii' are prone to do it) the new shoots are not hardened off and susceptible to frost damage. You can prune off the tips and the plant should send out new shoots when the weather is warmer."
