🎄 Buy a Holly tree sapling and add year-round interest and festive colour to your garden. A hardy evergreen shrub or tree which is also ideal for hedging.
Holly (Ilex aquifolium) is a classic British evergreen shrub or small tree, perfect for creating dense, bird-friendly hedging or adding winter interest to any garden. Known for its glossy green leaves and bright red berries, Holly brings colour and structure throughout the year, especially during the colder months.
Our Holly saplings are grown from UK stock, and approximately 80% are female – meaning most will produce the iconic red berries, provided there's a male tree nearby for pollination. Holly is slow-growing and low maintenance, thriving in shade and adapting well to various soil types.
Traditionally associated with folklore and festive decorations, the Holly tree has long been valued for its resilience and wildlife appeal. Each Holly sapling is 10–20cm tall and ready for planting at any time of year.

Known for its glossy green leaves and bright red berries, Holly brings colour and structure throughout the year, especially during the colder months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"805\" data-end=\"1086\"\u003eOur Holly saplings are grown from UK stock, and approximately 80% are female – meaning most will produce the iconic red berries, provided there's a male tree nearby for pollination. Holly is slow-growing and low maintenance, thriving in shade and adapting well to various soil types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1088\" data-end=\"1295\"\u003eTraditionally associated with folklore and festive decorations, the Holly tree has long been valued for its resilience and wildlife appeal. Each Holly sapling is 10–20cm tall and ready for planting at any time of year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1297\" data-end=\"1314\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1297\" data-end=\"1314\"\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1317\" data-end=\"1373\"\u003eEvergreen shrub or tree with \u003cstrong\u003eyear-round appeal\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1376\" data-end=\"1430\"\u003eFemale saplings produce \u003cstrong\u003ebright red berries in winter\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1433\" data-end=\"1513\"\u003eIdeal for hedging – plant 4 per metre (single row) or 6 per metre (double row)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1516\" data-end=\"1570\"\u003eTolerates \u003cstrong\u003edry, shady spots and a wide range of soils\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1573\" data-end=\"1625\"\u003eFully\u003cstrong\u003e hardy and suitable for gardens \u003c\/strong\u003eacross the UK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1628\" data-end=\"1703\"\u003eSupports pollinators in spring and summer – RHS \u003cstrong\u003e“Perfect for Pollinators”\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1706\" data-end=\"1748\"\u003eRooted in \u003cstrong\u003eBritish folklore\u003c\/strong\u003e and tradition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1706\" data-end=\"1748\"\u003eCurrent sapling height is approx.10-20cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1751\" data-end=\"1802\"\u003eDelivered as healthy, \u003cstrong\u003eready-to-plant saplings\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1804\" data-end=\"1955\"\u003e🌿 \u003cstrong\u003eCreate a beautiful, wildlife-friendly hedge or festive garden feature with these classic Holly trees – a timeless addition to British gardens.
