Root Ball Japanese Holly
(Ilex crenata)

Ilex Crenata̴Ì?bears̴Ì?small, dark green, glossy leaves, which are̴Ì?followed with handfuls of white flowers in Springtime, and dark (poisonous) berries̴Ì?during Autumn.

Root Ball Japanese Holly plants are only available to buy and plant during November - March, but can be pre-ordered at any time outside of the root ball season.

Japanese Holly has a very similar nature to Box hedging, but does not get leaf scorch when pruned, can regenerate from old wood, and can even adapt to colder, tougher conditions- it's the perfect alternative to Buxus sempervirens.̴Ì?

Either keep your Japanese Holly as a small, neat hedge, or try using it as a tidy border/path edging- or even grow to about 1m and trim into a topiary shape!

Ilex crenata can tolerate difficult conditions such as shade, urban pollution, and cold climates, making it the ideal hardy natures, small hedging component to any garden.

  • Growth rate: Slow (10-20 cm per year)
  • Ideal height: 1.2m- 2.5m Medium
  • Soil type: Normal
  • Exposure: Coastal, exposed, inland
  • Aspect: Full shade, full sun
  • Evergreen foliage? Yes

When you receive your Japanese Holly Root Ball plant, it will need to be planted within a couple of weeks or so and must be well-watered during this time. Do not allow the soil to dry out- this will more than likely damage the roots altogether.̴Ì?

Japanese Holly will easily tolerate hard pruning but will be vulnerable to cold weather if done, due to new growth. You can trim off any dead branch tips to make the shape more attractive, too.

  1. If you're not ready to plant straight away, your root balls will need to be kept moist and in a cool, dark room (i.e., garage or shed). Ideally, they should be planted straight away, but can last up to 3 days or so.
  2. Dig a hole that is several inches wider than the root ball, but about the same depth. Soak the hole with water, and sprinkle a thin layer of RootGrow at the̴Ì? bottom, if using.
  3. Ensure the root ball has been given plenty of water, then put the damp root ball into the soil, and begin backfilling with soil. Check the base of the stem is level with the surface of the soil, or just under.
  4. Firm the soil down lightly, then give the plant a good watering.
  5. Like all plants, it will need to be kept free of weeds and given plenty of water- it's first year after planting is vital, as the plant needs enough resources to be able to settle down, recover, and establish.

Root Types Summary

  • Bare Root
    Bare Root

    Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.

  • Pot Grown
    Pot Grown

    Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.

  • Root Ball
    Root Ball

    Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.

  • Instant Hedging
    Instant Hedging

    Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hegding troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
