Popular Hedge for Complete Year-Round Privacy
Why Nellie Stevens Hollies?
The Nellie Stevens has soared in popularity. Why? Well, for starters, it's the ideal selection for both hedging and privacy screening, especially since it grows up to 3 feet each year.
Plus, it thrives on neglect. No green thumb is no problem since they grow in sun or partial shade. And you'll appreciate how these holly trees stay deep green year-round, unlike other hedge trees that can brown out during either the summer heat or mild droughts.
Plant each Nellie Stevens Holly 5 to 6 feet apart for a living wall that gives you complete privacy, no holes and no gaps. You control how they grow - whether that's naturally into a dense, pyramidal shape that matures at 15 to 25 feet in height, or pruned into a tall box hedge.
What is a Jumbo Nellie Stevens Holly Shrub?

Thanks to their well-developed root systems and large container size, they provide excellent drought resistance and improved nutrient absorption. Jumbos are ideal for creating immediate privacy and adding fullness to your garden beds without the wait.
Grown in limited quantities, Jumbo shrubs are perfect for homeowners who want fast results and a lasting impression in their landscape.

Love it!
It looks really healthy! Smaller than what I thought it would be. Can't wait for it to grow to give the birds a place to hide in the winter.
So far, so good
Newly planted, but roots looked great, ready to rock n roll!
Good quality
The Holly Shrubs arived in good order. Doing well after 2 months.
Worth the price
These actually arrived larger than i expected. Ordered 42 all came fairly good shape. Alot of browning leaves bit a month or so in I have alot of bushes with new growth. Very happy with these shrubs. Hoping they fill in to the living wall within a couple years. Most were loaded with green berries also cant wait for them to ripen for the wildlife.
