Standard Holly Trees, also known by the Latin Ilex aquifolium, are hardy evergreen ornamental trees with glossy dark green leaves. They bloom delicate white flowers in late spring through summer, with the vivid red berries associated with holly appearing in autumn/winter. Trained into a classic lollipop stem, these trees are ideal for small gardens and patios.
When planted out in the garden and not pruned into shape, Holly trees can reach an ultimate height of around 12 metres and a spread of up to 8 metres. Be sure to plant in fertile soil with good drainage. Holly trees are tolerant of most soil types and prefer a spot in full sun or partial shade.
Standard Holly Trees are fairly low maintenance and demand only a little attention to thrive. Regular watering is required to keep the soil moist but well drained. This is particularly important if you keep the tree in a pot, where it can’t absorb moisture from the ground. Annual pruning is all that is needed to maintain the attractive lollipop shape. The best time of year for pruning is late winter or early spring, before the tree enters its growing phase.
Holly trees retain their foliage all year round and add beauty and interest throughout the year. Holly is synonymous with the Christmas period and its glossy green foliage and bright red berries add an abundance of vibrant natural colour to an otherwise drab time of year.

These striking holly trees are popular for their evergreen foliage, which boasts a shiny effect. Year round interest is created by small white flowers blooming in April and lasting through summer. These are followed by bright red berries in autumn and winter, which not only look great, but are an important food source for birds and small mammals.

Perfect for adding height to small gardens and patios, holly trees are a low maintenance addition to your outdoor space. To help your tree flourish, place it in a bright spot where it can soak up sunlight all day long. However, these trees will also flourish in dappled shade. Holly does well in most soil types as long as the soil is well drained. Other than some light pruning to maintain the shape of the foliage, the only work you’ll have to put in to keep the tree healthy is watering. During spring and summer water approximately once a week. This can be reduced during the tree’s dormant months in autumn and winter.

Standard Holly Trees create a lovely Christmassy touch when placed flanking an entrance. They complement festive foliage such as wreaths and garlands and are a hassle free way to add some seasonal cheer to the outside of your home. Make your friends and family feel like they’re entering a winter wonderland when they arrive to visit.
