Ilex Crenata̴Ì?bears̴Ì?small, dark green, glossy leaves, which are̴Ì?followed with handfuls of white flowers in Springtime, and dark (poisonous) berries̴Ì?during Autumn.
The Japanese Holly is an ideal alternative to the Box hedge, due to it being very similar in nature (even though it is a type of Holly) and has added benefits- being resistant to Box blight, regenerates from old wood (meaning you can re-shape it easily if it has been neglected for a while) and does not get leaf scorch when pruned. As well as this, the Ilex Crenata is also slightly more adaptable to tougher conditions than the Box, meaning it is great for Colder areas.
You can keep the Japanese Holly as a small, neat hedge, or make it part of a lovely edging to a border/path. Even consider growing it to be a bit higher (around 1m), and trim into a topiary shape.
The Ilex Crenata can tolerate shade and urban pollution and is also suited to cold climates.
Buying Instant Impact makes it even easier- your plant will arrive on your doorstep fully matured, established, and ready to plant! All the beginning hard work has been done for you- you don't even have to worry about the No. per metre. 1 instant impact trough = 1 metre of hedging.
The Japanese Holly can easily tolerate hard pruning- but please note that this will encourage new growth, making it vulnerable to cold weather. You can easily trim off any branch tips with dead wood and make the shape more attractive and pleasing.

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.
