Ilex Aquifolium̴Ì?is well-known for its classically prickly, glossy, deep-green leaves, and bright red berries that make an attractive trait to the bush during Winter.
The dense and prickly leaves on English Holly make it ideal as a privacy screen, security barrier, or windbreak, as well as being successfully pollution resistant. With its welcomed shades of colour, English Holly can provide you with year-round colour and Winter coverage during the colder months- some small white flowers even appear in the Spring.̴Ì?
Due to being evergreen, English Holly is loved by native birds for shelter during Winter, and the berries are a perfect source of food.̴Ì?
Please note, bare root plants̴Ì?will need to be planted as soon as possible after being delivered- do not put it off, as if the roots dry out, the plant will not survive.̴Ì?
When you receive your English Holly Bare Root plant, place it straight into a bucket of water for at least 2 hours. The roots must be wet before planting. You must also continually water the plant throughout its growth and development, as Holly particularly prefers a moist site.̴Ì?
In terms of pruning, English Holly needs minimal amounts. You should only need to remove dead/damaged/diseased/crossing shoots, at most- and the best time to do so is during the late Winter/early Spring, when the plant is dormant.̴Ì?
If your Holly gets too large or overgrown for your liking, it can tolerate a bit of annual/extreme pruning- though this must be done during the Winter, also.̴Ì?

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 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.
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.
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.
Our bare root discount deals include bundles of 50, 100, and 250 plants. The bigger the bundle, the higher the discount.
