Osmanthus heterophyllus, commonly known as false holly, is a captivating evergreen shrub renowned for its beauty and resilience. This shrub typically grows to a height and width of 8-10 feet, forming a dense, rounded shape. Its most striking feature is the glossy, spiny leaves, resembling those of a holly, which transform from a deep green to a bronzed-purple hue in the fall. In late summer to early fall, Osmanthus heterophyllus produces small, white, fragrant flowers, adding a delightful aroma to gardens. It's a versatile plant, ideal for hedges, screens, or specimen plantings.

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).
