Holly (Ilex Aquifolium)





Holly is a traditional, popular evergreen tree with glossy, spiky leaves and red berries bringing colour to your Winter garden. The majority of holly bushes are either male or female. If you want a hollybush with berries, you will need both a male and female variety.


They will adapt to different conditions and will grow in virtually any soil. Because of their waxy leaves, they’re ideal for windy positions.

Prune in Winter: it's the perfect time for collecting some foliage for your Christmas arrangements !
