Standard Ilex Patio Tree

These striking holly trees are popular for their evergreen foliage, which boasts a shiny effect. Year round interest is created by small white flowers blooming in April and lasting through summer. These are followed by bright red berries in autumn and winter, which not only look great, but are an important food source for birds and small mammals.

Perfect for adding height to small gardens and patios, holly trees are a low maintenance addition to your outdoor space. To help your tree flourish, place it in a bright spot where it can soak up sunlight all day long. However, these trees will also flourish in dappled shade. Holly does well in most soil types as long as the soil is well drained. Other than some light pruning to maintain the shape of the foliage, the only work you’ll have to put in to keep the tree healthy is watering. During spring and summer water approximately once a week. This can be reduced during the tree’s dormant months in autumn and winter.

Standard Holly Trees create a lovely Christmassy touch when placed flanking an entrance. They complement festive foliage such as wreaths and garlands and are a hassle free way to add some seasonal cheer to the outside of your home. Make your friends and family feel like they’re entering a winter wonderland when they arrive to visit.
