Description
- Ilex aquifolium, the English holly tree, is a medium-sized evergreen tree known for its iconic winter berries
- Strong, spiny leaves in a dark, glossy green
- Slow growing and bushy, up to 12m high and 8m spread, responding well to pruning and forming a hedge
- On female plants, small white spring flowers become bright red berries through autumn and winter
- One of Britain’s few native evergreen trees
- Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming “leggy”, and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
