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.

Fast growing
Got 24 1gal trees May 9th and started repotting them in 2 gal pots using root rocket. They get 8 hours of full sunlight. By July 21st they have doubled.
Pleasantly Surprised!
I was rather reluctant about getting plants online and having them shipped, but I thought, give it a shot because the price was as good or even better than anything I could find locally. I was really pleased at how nicely they were packed and the excellent quality when they arrived! Granted, a holly bush is rather hearty and could survive some knocking around with shipping. I watered them right away and planted them within a few days. Even if I could get the same ones at a local nursery, it's often that I could not get 10 of them and about the same size, let alone all in the same condition. I will definitely order more things from here! I'm rather reluctant to get a larger 6-7' tree delivered because of the shipping ( need to get 3 or 4), but will certainly be ordering shrubs and perennials!
So far so good Nellie Stevens Holly
Hopefully these trees will create a replacement living privacy fence in our backyard. So far they have been establishing themselves very well. Hopefully next year we will see at least 3 feet of growth when spring arrives. Overall I am very Happy with my investment in these trees. 🌳
Absolutely in love with my little nellies!
I can't wait to watch them grow. Purchased 8 for a privacy hedge and they seem to have already started growing since I planted them last week.
Thank you for healthy tree
