- Ideal selection for hedges and privacy screens

- Thrives on neglect
You’ll appreciate how these holly trees stay deep green all year, unlike other hedge trees that can brown out during either the summer heat or mild droughts.
Plant 5-6 ft. apart for a living wall that gives you complete privacy -- no holes or gaps.
You control how they grow – whether naturally into a dense, pyramidal shape that matures at 15-25 ft., or pruned into a tall box hedge.
They grow up to 3 ft. per year without pruning. When they reach the height you want, just clip off the leader. This will slow them down and make them thicken.
These holly trees make perfect accents at the corners of your home, in the flower garden or entryway. The dark green foliage makes a great contrast to surrounding trees and shrubs.
During the winter months you will enjoy the red berries against the deep green foliage. Clip some branches to decorate your home for the holidays.
Bird watchers delight as these berries attract all kinds of wildlife!
Unlike most holly varieties, these grow tall and stay deep green all year round. Nellie Stevens Holly Trees grow in sun or partial shade.
Landscapers have fueled a great demand for the Nellie Stevens. In addition to being attractive, these trees can be planted and forgotten. They withstand poor soil, drought and even neglect.

My Nellie Stevens Holly arrived two days after it shipped, in wonderful condition. You do a great job of packing - not one broken leaf. She's been in the ground for about six weeks and seems to be settling in nicely. I'm VERY pleased with the size, condition and general appearance, and would definitely buy from you again.

We planted 16 Nellie Stevens Hollies to use as a wind and privacy barrier. We planted them 1 1/2 yrs ago and even though they are to grow 3-5 ft per year ours have grown about 2 1/2 ft because of a drought last summer. We are happy with the looks of the trees and they have grown very well this fall due to an abundance of rain and good temperatures. We are very pleased with the purchase.

I purchased 15 nellie stevens hollies in the spring of 07 to be used as a privacy hedge. They arrived in great condition and I planted them as instructed. The first year I saw little progress and the plants produced no berries (probably normal). All but one plant made it through the first winter. It is now December 08 and the bushes are thriving and filling out the intended area (berries have appeared).I will definately use fast growing trees in the future.

I had one not make it through last winter, but the others are healthy. I'm hoping to have a barrier between two properties. Hopefully this spring I'll see some good growth.

Used the Nellie Stevens Holly evergreens for privacy border. They stayed healthy, but not growing as fast as expected.
