Highlander Holly – Dense Mounding Evergreen with Glossy Green Foliage

Highlander Holly features dense mounding habit with glossy deep green foliage and spreading branches. This slow-growing evergreen produces small red fruits in fall that last through winter when pollinated, making it perfect for foundation plantings, hedges, and mass plantings.

Key Features:

  • Dense mounding habit with glossy deep green foliage
  • Small scalloped leaves with fine texture
  • Small red fruits in fall through winter (when pollinated)
  • Grows 6-7' tall, spreads 4-5' wide
  • Requires male and female plants for fruit production

Growing Specifications:

  • Light: Full sun to part shade
  • Mature Size: 6-7' tall x 4-5' wide
  • Growth Rate: Slow
  • Type: Evergreen shrub

Care Tips:

Plant in well-drained soil with full sun to part shade. Water regularly during establishment, then moderately once established. Prune lightly to maintain shape. Hollies are dioecious and need both male and female plants to produce fruit. Apply 2-3" of mulch around the base to retain moisture, suppress weeds, regulate soil temperature, and improve soil quality. Highlander's dense habit makes it ideal for hedges and foundation plantings.
