Our Standard Ilex ‘Nellie R. Stevens’ Tree is a striking evergreen with year-round appeal. With its tall 1.8m clear stem topped by a dense, rounded head of glossy dark green foliage, it creates height, structure, and elegance in the garden while keeping the base clear for planting or pathways.
‘Nellie R. Stevens’ is a hybrid holly, prized for its vigorous growth and attractive leaves that are less spiny than traditional hollies, giving a softer, more refined look. In spring, small white flowers appear, followed by an abundance of bright red berries in autumn and winter – a valuable source of colour and a magnet for birds.
As a full Standard tree, it carries its crown high on the stem, making it perfect for use as a focal point, in pairs to frame entrances, or planted in a row for stylish, above-fence screening. Its upright form and evergreen foliage make it suitable for both formal and modern garden designs.
Hardy and low-maintenance, this holly tree is easy to grow and needs only light pruning to maintain its shape. A long-lasting and elegant choice, the Standard Ilex ‘Nellie R. Stevens’ brings year-round greenery and seasonal berries to your outdoor space.
