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. |

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
