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.
Root Ball English Holly plants are only available and ready to plant in November - March, but can be pre-ordered at any time outside of the pre-order season.
English Holly is also effectively pollution-resistant and a windbreaker, making it the ideal hedge for many situations!̴Ì?
Being an evergreen, Ilex aquifolium will bring year-round colour with its welcomed shades of green and red during the much colder months- some small, white flowers may even appear in the Spring!̴Ì?
Native birds see the plant as a fantastic source of shelter during the winter, too, and the red berries are ideal for them to feed on. This means you can even encourage some wildlife interest to your garden with English Holly!̴Ì?
As it is quite slow-growing, Ilex aquifolium will only grow about 10-15cm per year. However, once developed, it will become a stunning, dense, thick hedge- and this will be more likely if planted in full/partial shade, and in moist soil.
When you receive your English Holly Root Ball, 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?
In terms of pruning English Holly, it will need very little, if any- except from removing dead/damaged/diseased/crossing shoots. The best time to do any pruning will be at the end of Winter or beginning of Spring, when the plant is still dormant.̴Ì?
It should only need a little annual pruning, but English Holly can also tolerate extreme pruning when it gets overgrown/out of hand. If this is the case, only prune during the dormant period (Winter).

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.
