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.

Furthermore, during the winter months, you'll enjoy the Nellie Stevens' red berries against its deep green foliage. Clip off a few branches to decorate your home for the holidays. Dazzling, graceful wildlife also emerges since those berries attract an array of birds.

Arrived in good condition, well
Arrived in good condition, well packed, emerald-green and good growth. Planted one that was uprooted by groundhog overnight and sat in the sun, roots exposed, for hours, but re-planted it and it's doing well. Healthy trees!

Beautiful healthy plant
Great experience
I was going to purchase these trees, but when I saw the sale they had going. I couldn't wait. The order arrived in a very timely manner. I couldn't be more happy with the way they shipped them to. Trees were in excellent shape, and the packaging was fantastic. I would recommend if these guys to anyone.
