Ilex J C Van Tol - Self-Fertile Female English Holly

A hardy native holly that is almost spineless. Glossy, dark green leaves are carried on dark purple stems with bright red berries appearing from autumn to winter. This hardy English holly makes a handsome evergreen specimen tree for a small garden with fertile, moist, well-drained soil. J C Van Tol Holly is also self-fertile, so does not need to be near a male variety of holly tree to produce the berries. The abundant fruits persist through the winter months, providing an excellent source of food for birds. Supplied in approx 5 litre containers at around 100-120cms tall.
