IlexJ.C. Van Tol -Self Fertile Holly

A slow-growing evergreen tree, well known for its spiky leaves. Holly is tough and robust enough to handle the harshest of environments from dark valleys to extreme coastal locations – though it thrives bestwith the protection of other trees around it. Berries only come on female plants,so plant several cultivars to increase the chances of having fruit. Ilex aquifoliumJ.C. Van Tol is a self-fertile fruiting variety, suitable where space is at a premium, but also makes an attractive, slow-growing spiky hedge that clips very well and is an ideal evergreen to include in mixed hedges.
