American Holly
Ilex opaca

The American Holly, Ilex opaca, is a beautiful native evergreen to the United States. The American Holly is a slow to medium growing tree, native from Massachusetts to Texas and across the southeastern United States. It is a broadleaf evergreen known for its hardiness in low temperatures and resilient growing nature. The American Holly produces beautiful red berries when planted within range of a male pollinator. It has a sweet smell when in bloom and is attractive to butterflies and bees. The American Holly has lustrous, dark green leaves and makes an excellent home landscaping plant due to its slow to medium growing nature. In order to produce berries a male polinator is needed. We have both female American Holly and male Holly Ilex x attenuata "Big John." See pricing below.

Common Name:	American Holly
Type:	Broadleaf Evergreen/Shade Tree
Soil Preference:	Prefers good, moist, acidic, well-drained soil.
Care:	Prune as needed and be sure to plant a male polinator within proximity for berries in the late fall and early winter.
Planting Instructions:	Dig a hole three times the diameter of the root system, with a depth no deeper than the original soil line on trunk. Break up the soil to the finest consistency possible. Place plant in hole and fill, compacting the fill dirt. Water the plant heavily to seal soil around the roots and remove air pockets. Fertilize according to the recommendation of your local agriculture extension agents, or fertilize based on your own knowledge and experience.
