The Hollies are often thought of as trees but, although when much
older many specimens will attain the stature of a tree, for many years
they appear as larger shrubs. Ideal for mixed shrubbery planting, it is
best to plant and wait for them to develop at their own pace. True
Holly trees are more often inherited than planted. Our 5yr specimens
are as old as can reasonably be planted without risk of loss.
