Why Oak Leaf ™ Holly Trees?
The Oak Leaf™ Holly is a new and improved red holly variety that ticks all the boxes of a landscape favorite. It’s cold hardy and drought tolerant, making it tougher than other types of hollies. Simply plant your Oak Leaf™ Hollies and watch them thrive - they’re perfect for planting in a row for a living privacy screen that doesn’t require a lot of upkeep.
Plus, the Oak Leaf ™'s dense foliage grows together to form a solid emerald green barrier, standing up as a powerful screen that blocks strong winter winds and snow.

In the spring, new Oak Leaf ™ Holly grow emerges with a shade of maroon, capturing everyone’s attention before they turn emerald green.

Pollination Info
Oak Leaf Holly Tree Pollination
We carry male and female hollies at our nursery, and you will need both to produce berries on the female plant. However, hollies are hard to tell apart when they are not fruiting, and we can’t guarantee whether you will receive a male or female. For best results, we suggest planting in groups to enjoy berries on the female plants and lush greenery on both year-round.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Oak Leaf™ Hollies prefer full to partial sun, so plant in an area with 4 to 8 hours of sunlight per day, along with well-drained soil.
Dig the hole as deep as and approximately twice the width of the root ball. Holding the tree, carefully place it into the hole and make sure that the roots are not curling upwards. Backfill the soil, water to settle the roots, and cover the entire planting area with an organic mulch.
2. Watering: Once the roots are established, your Oak Leaf™ Holly will not need much supplemental watering. Be sure to inspect the tree and surrounding soil for extreme dryness during extended winter dry spells and water if necessary.
3. Fertilizing: We recommend not fertilizing unless your Oak Leaf™ begins losing its dark green color due to a lack of nutrients. If necessary, just a tablespoon of balanced fertilizer (labeled 12-12-12) sprinkled on top of the ground around the tree will suffice.
