Product Description

Common Holly Hedging Evergreen Plants, Ilex aquifolium 20-25cm in 9cm Pots

 

Ilex aquifolium (Holly, or European Holly to distinguish it from related species) is a species of holly native to western and southern Europe, northwest Africa and southwest Asia.

An evergreen tree growing to 10-25 m tall and 40-80 cm (rarely 1 m or more) trunk diameter, with smooth grey bark. The leaves are 5-12 cm long and 2-6 cm broad, variable in shape; on young plants and low branches, with three to five sharp spines on each side, pointing alternately upward and downward; on higher branches of older trees with few or no spines except for the leaf tip, often entire.

The flowers are white, four-lobed, and pollinated by bees. The fruit is a red berry 6-10 mm diameter, containing four pits; although mature in late autumn, they are very bitter so are rarely touched by birds until late winter after frost has made them softer and more palatable.

    Good quality holly plants

    Posted by Brocky on 17th Nov 2017

    The plants arrived promptly and were packed carefully. None of them were damaged, they were as described on-line and they appeared to be in very good condition. Would definitely buy them again.
