Ilex
This genus contains about 400 species of evergreen or deciduous trees, shrubs and climbers. Used for its foliage and berries since Roman times, Ilex - or Holly as it is commonly known - has long been associated with festivals, including Christmas because of its bright red, round berries.
In the majority of species, male and female flowers usually grow on separate trees, thus plants of both sexes are required for the production of berries. However, some of the new cultivars are self-fertile, such as Ilex burfordii which has white flowers which look stunning against the dark, green glossy foliage and which are followed by bright red berries. This makes a great specimen shrub and is also excellent for hedging.

Hollies prefer acid soil that is moderately fertile, well drained and humus-rich. Some hollies will grow in part shade, but most require full sun, especially the variegated ones which need the sun to show their two-tone colours to best effect.
Due to the fact that many species have spiny, thorny points on the undulating leaves, the Holly makes an excellent protective hedge. Hollies also respond well to pruning.

Ilex Aquifolium
The evergreen Holly bush is extremely hardy and tolerant as well as highly decorative with its glossy deep green foliage. The little white spring flowers will turn into bright red winter berries as long as the birds and the bees have done their job.
The pollution tolerant Holly is the perfect choice for sites where a robust but ornamental hedge is required. Prune in spring to keep to the height required.

Ilex J C Van Tol
An attractive Holly with dark green, almost spineless foliage. Little white flowers in spring are followed by a mass of red berries that put on quite a show and hold well. Presented here as a topiary standard to use as an accent in the garden or as a feature in a pot. Evergreen.
'J C Van Tol' is a self-fertile Holly hybrid and will therefore have berries without the need to plant a male and a female. Remember that your Holly will resent being shifted so choose your planting spot carefully.
