As a standard tree, it forms a neat, rounded crown on a clear stem, making it ideal for formal layouts, entrance features, patios, or as a focal point within borders. Its large, glossy, dark green leaves resemble those of sweet chestnut and provide a bold, elegant texture that contrasts beautifully with finer-leaved plants.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBeing evergreen, it maintains interest throughout all seasons and offers shelter for birds and beneficial wildlife. In winter, female plants may carry bright red berries if a suitable male pollinator is nearby, adding valuable seasonal colour. Ilex castaneifolia prefers a sheltered position in well-drained, fertile soil and performs best in full sun to partial shade. It is tolerant of urban conditions and light pollution, making it suitable for town gardens as well as rural settings. With minimal pruning required, it is a low-maintenance, long-lived tree that brings lasting form, colour, and character to both traditional and contemporary garden designs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arundel Arboretum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57051478163834,"sku":"ILEX-CAFO-TR42-50","price":435.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9130\/4688\/files\/288a68a8-3eb8-4dd8-bb33-30aaf163fdad.jpg?v=1783507486","url":"https:\/\/www.arundelarboretum.co.uk\/products\/ilex-castaneifolia-chestnut-leaved-holly-clear-stem-200cm-girth-8-10cm-height-420-430cm-50lt","provider":"Arundel Arboretum","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
