Here's why Nellie Stevens hollies have become so popular:

Ideal selection for hedges and privacy screens
Grows up to 3 ft. per year!
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, no 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 as much as 2 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 out.

These holly trees make perfect accents at the corners of your home, planting beds, 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 off some branches to decorate your home for the holidays.

This tree is a bird watchers delight, as its 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.

You will never find a better privacy screen at such a low price. These will sell out shortly, so hurry and place your order today.

It's Easy to Plant your Nellie Stevens Holly
Step 1 - Dig Your Hole Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Nellie Stevens Holly. If you're planting a hedge, mark out a visual guide by placing stakes five to six feet apart and looping string around them. Plant the trees where the stakes are and they'll grow together to make a dense privacy screen. First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width. Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through. Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.

Step 2 - Place Your Tree Next, separate the roots of your Nellie Stevens Holly gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole. The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil. Then make sure the tree is exactly vertical in the hole. To make it just right, use a level.
Step 3 - Backfill Your Hole As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets. Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps. Water your Nellie Stevens Holly again after the transplant is complete. To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each tree to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips or pine needles also help to better soil structure as they decompose.

The hollies arrived in great shape. They seem to be thriving in their first year. I would buy from fast growing trees again!

By: Carlin in Swarthmore, PA

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

By: Vaughn in Martinsburg, WV

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.

By: Brad in Southern Kansas

We bought 8 of these Nellie Stevens to begin a privacy wall on our property. They arrived well packed, looked thriving & healthy upon arrival. We got them planted about a week after receiving. Theyve been in the ground for 2 weeks now & they still look healthy. I dont know about long term but so far im very satisfied. My only regret is I wish id known about Fast Growing Trees years ago! Ive spent fortunes over the years on trees from various big home improvement retail stores that are dead on arrival.

By: Kurt in Arberdeen, MD

We use these as a privacy hedge. Grows sort of fast and looks great.

By: Nancy in Detroit, MI

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

By: Tammy

I am not a great gardener. These were perfect for me. I purchased mine about 3 years ago and they're still going strong. I watered them a good bit during the first 2 weeks, then they've been on their own. Will buy again.

By: Erica

I love these trees, the only downfall is the deer love these as well.

By: Pam

Arrived healthy, and is still alive, but is slow growing. I should have brought a more developed tree. Takes too long to catch up with the other more mature trees and looks odd. But would purchase trees again. Thanks.

By: William Deskin

Planted 30 of the Nellie Stevens Holly in early March. They have not grown much at all... We ordered the 2-3ft. Wish we had ordered the taller ones! It is the end of July here in MA and we have lost all leaves on 3 of the 30. Visited a local nursery today and the owner warned that these do not hold up well in zone 5-6 during the Winter time and that we were not watering them enough. I hope he is wrong, this will be our first winter with them and we spent a lot of $ to lose all 30 in the next 2 seasons. If they start growing though I would be able to highly recommend these for future buyers.
