About this product

Ilex aquifolium Nellie Stevens, known as Nellie Stevens Holly, grows well as a bush or a single-stemmed tree.

An American female clone bred in the 1900s, it is a cross between Ilex aquifolium and Ilex cornuta. Its lustrous green glossy leaves are smoother than spikey, and its orange/red berries are great for birds in the autumn.

Ilex aquifolium Nellie Stevens thrives on free-draining soils, and being evergreen, it is an ideal feature for screening trees for gardens.

Mature Height: 3-7m
