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?
Jumbo shrubs are the most mature shrubs offered at Fast Growing Trees. 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.

Nellie Stevens Holly Shrub
Theses arrives healthy and ready to plant. Love the variety and beauty of all the trees and easy of the web site. Fabulous trees
Love this holly but oh my deer!
I purchased this shrub in late summer. Through the last few months we were astounded at how fast he was growing. To our surprise, by the time the cold weather set in we noticed major deer pressure. Our little nellie Steven’s is now a few twigs no taller than 6”. I thought these were deer resistant - are there any suggestions for how to protect the plant? And as it grows larger, will the deer resist it? I originally bought the 1 gallon, so he was quite young and small.
