Chestnut Leaf Holly:   A vigorous, large evergreen shrub or small tree growing up to around 12 metres, with a dense, pyramidal crown, with smooth bark and bright green twigs.   Glossy dark green leaves with a spiked margin, which are slightly sharp make this an excellent screening tree.   Clusters of tiny white flowers appear in spring, and are followed by large red berries in autumn.   It is resistant to hot, dry conditions and grows well in most types of well drained acid, alkaline or neutral soils.   Can be shaped and clipped into hedges or topiary shapes.   Plant in full sun.   Hardiness rating H5. We would advise that you will also need a stake, tie and Mona Relief watering system with this tree. All photographs on our website are of our own grown stock, or in the case of Italian specimens or bare root hedging, these are photographs of the plants actually in stock. As this is a large tree we will only be able to arrange delivery for post codes within a 50 mile radius of NG13 8JA.   Please call 01949 21402 for a delivery charge quotation.
