Description
Quercus ilex
Holm Oak (Quercus ilex), or Evergreen Oak, is a highly versatile plant, available here in a pallet of 5 readybags for large-scale landscaping projects.
Known for its fast growth and adaptability, this evergreen is ideal for creating dense, long-lasting hedges that provide year-round privacy and wind protection. The leaves start as a silver-grey and mature into a deep green, offering a dynamic visual appeal that evolves with the seasons.
Holm Oak performs well in a variety of soil types and is particularly tolerant of shade, where its foliage takes on a greener hue. With regular trimming, this plant develops an even denser structure, making it perfect for privacy screens. If allowed to grow naturally, Holm Oak can become a magnificent tree, echoing the grandeur of the Common Oak.
This plant, awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit in 1984, is a solid choice for professionals looking to establish substantial, durable hedging quickly and effectively.
*A Quercus ilex Pallet includes fertiliser and irrigation pipe.
