Description

Japanese Holly (Ilex crenata ‘Dark green’)

Ilex crenata ‘Carolina Upright’ (Japanese Holly) is an evergreen hedge known for its slow growth and upright form, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a refined, low-maintenance hedge. Resembling Boxwood with its small, spineless leaves, this variety is often called Box-leaved Holly. It thrives in a range of soil types, though it performs best in well-drained, moist soils. For optimal growth, we advise avoiding planting it in chalky or clay soils, as this plant prefers humus-rich, slightly acidic conditions.

One of the standout features of Japanese Holly is its resistance to common hedge issues like rusts, leaf spots, Box blight, and Box Moth caterpillar, making it a hardy option for various landscapes. Regular feeding during the growing season will help maintain its lush, healthy appearance.

Japanese Holly is tolerant of shade and resilient against urban pollution, making it an ideal choice for city gardens and landscaping projects. Its naturally narrow growth habit allows it to serve as an excellent boundary hedge, providing year-round structure and privacy.

Highly valued in Japan and Korea, Ilex crenata has a long tradition of being shaped into a variety of artistic forms, adding cultural significance to its already impressive list of attributes. Whether you’re looking to define a garden space or create a living boundary, this readybag pallet of 5 units offers a sophisticated, durable solution for your hedging needs.

Ilex crenata ‘Dark Green’ is a registered plant variety (icoprins11) and protected by Plant Breeders Rights
