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.

Dazzling, graceful wildlife also emerges since those berries attract an array of birds.

Happy Holly
Beautiful plant, healthy and well developed. It is still early but so far good.
Beautiful bush
I ordered the Nellie Steven’s Holly Shrub. I planted it as directed and so far so good! There is new growth and it is flowering. The only thing that I personally found difficult was breaking up the root ball when I planted it. I purchased the 3 gallon size and boy o boy were those roots packed tight. I got them loosened up before planting but it was hard. My work payed off because the bush is thriving. I can’t wait for it to berry.
Still healthy after all these months!
Great plants
Woo Nellie
Came as expected , on time well boxed. Healthy leaves and roots in a 7 gallon container. Doing well here in New Jersey. Looking forward to its growth spurt.
Happy with the purchase
Too soon to know how they will do but off to a good start. Planted as a privacy border. It will be a while before they are tall enough to do the job.
