Ilex crenata is a slow-growing, ornamental, evergreen shrub or small tree with dense and compact habit. Its tiny, rounded, glossy, dark green leaves resemble the box-wood leaves. Inconspicuous, white flowers that bloom in summer are followed by small, black berries in autumn. Ilex crenata, or Japanese Holly, is an easily grown plant that tolerates various types of soils, except very wet, but thrives in average, medium moisture, slightly acidic, well-drained soil, in full sun or partial shade. Once established, it is drought and frost tolerant, but needs to be protected from drying winter winds. Doesn’t require regular pruning. Japanese Holly is a lovely, tough ornamental tree. Great alternative to Box or Buxus sempervirens because it is resistant to Box blight and not prone to leaf scorch when pruned. It is perfect as a specimen plant, for neat, low hedges and screens, path edgings, and foundations. Suitable for trimming and making topiaries and bonsai trees.

About Us

During this time, we have developed a large stock of trees, mature evergreen shrubs, conifers, Japanese maples, cedars and olives. What sets us apart from a generic garden center is solid unwavering focus on trees and some bigger shrubs. You will find thousands of trees, hundreds of varieties and lots of experts who are working on the nursery and more than willing to help you to choose a plant for you.

What you will not find is hot tubs, garden furniture and plastic garden gnomes. In a nutshell, trees is what we know and trees is what we do, and only trees (and some shrubs to go with the trees).
