Christmas Jewel® Holly

The Christmas Jewel® Holly is a wonderful newer variety of holly with a neat, upright habit that is so compact it doesn’t even need trimming. It grows steadily to around 10 feet tall, making it perfect for smaller spaces and smaller gardens. It will even grow well in large boxes, tubs and planters. It has small glossy leaves and an abundance of large red berries in fall and through most of the winter too. Plant it as a specimen in a lawn or a bed, as an avenue along a driveway, or as a beautiful screen that needs no trimming. The leaves have a classic look, and branches are perfect for decorating your home for the holiday season. In the garden or in your home, this holly truly is a jewel for the Christmas season.

• Wonderful neat, column-shaped holly tree

Grow the Christmas Jewel® Holly in full sun or partial shade, in all regions from zone 6 to zone 9. It will grow well in ordinary garden soil, and it thrives in moist, well-drained soil. Avoid very wet areas that are constantly saturated, and very dry locations too. This hybrid bush is vigorous and tough, with no significant pests or diseases, and even deer normally leave it alone. For an easily-grown, compact, upright evergreen bush with the bonus of beautiful berries in fall and winter, this plant simply cannot be beaten.
