Bring the timeless, iconic beauty of a classic English Holly to your garden with the superior adaptability of Wilson Holly. This exceptional cultivar boasts the same glossy, deep green, leathery foliage and vibrant red berries that define the holiday season, but in a more garden-friendly form. Its leaves are elegantly smooth-edged, lacking the sharp spines of its traditional cousins, making it safer for high-traffic areas. A robust and statuesque evergreen, it forms a dense, pyramidal tree perfect as a stunning specimen, a formal screen, or for creating a living legacy of seasonal cheer. In our Zone 9a climate, it rewards thoughtful placement with its majestic, year-round presence.

• Classic Holiday Silhouette: Produces the iconic glossy, deep green, leathery leaves and, with a pollinator, abundant bright red winter berries.
• Smooth, Spineless Foliage: Features leaves with smooth or barely-toothed margins, unlike the prickly English holly, making it more versatile and family-friendly.
• Large, Stately Evergreen Tree: Matures into a handsome, dense, pyramidal form, reaching 15-20 feet tall and 10-12 feet wide over time.
• Superior Drought & Deer Resistance: Once established, shows good drought tolerance for a holly and is reliably resistant to deer browsing.
• Needs Pollinator for Berries: A female variety. To produce its signature red berries, it requires a compatible male holly (e.g., Ilex aquifolium 'Prince of Wales') planted nearby.
