Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is English holly a good privacy hedge in the UK? Yes, its dense, evergreen growth provides year-round screening.
  • How fast does Ilex aquifolium grow? Typically 20–30cm per year; mature height can exceed 4m if left unclipped.
  • Will it attract birds? Holly berries are a winter food source for native birds; dense branches offer shelter.
  • Is it easy to maintain? Requires minimal pruning; tolerates most soils and conditions.

Common questions

Bare root plants are field-grown and lifted dormant — the cheapest way to plant a hedge. Pot grown plants have an established root system and can be planted year-round. Root ball plants are mature field-grown plants lifted with a soil ball for instant height.
Pot grown plants can go in the ground at any time of year. Bare root is supplied dormant from November to March, and root ball plants are lifted in that same window.
3 plants per metre for a standard single-row hedge, or 5 per metre (staggered double row) for a dense screen.
