The Holly tree is native throughout the British Isles, it grows to around 65ft (20m) if left untrimmed.

Holly trees form an excellent evergreen hedge, growing everywhere except on wet soils. The Holly tree will generally tolerate conditions that would be too harsh for other trees.

Holly wood is used for carving, inlay work and woodcuts.

Birds feast on Holly berries in winter providing for a pre Christmas race with those of us wishing to decorate their homes.

Holly trees are single sex with only female trees bearing berries.

A mix of male and female plants is therefore required to obtain winter berries.
