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.

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.
