Ilex

Large shrubs or small trees, tolerant of most sites and soils in sun or light shade. Our native common holly is one of the best of hedging plants. Hollies grow surprisingly quickly once established and respond well to trimming. Some of the variegated forms make excellent specimen shrubs or small trees.
