In addition to its use for decoration and visual appeal, the Oakland Holly tree can also double in use as a hedge planting. If you're looking for a unique way to privacy screening, take a look at these evergreen shrubs, which can reach 15-20 feet tall at maturity.
Another approach to displaying these festive evergreens clustering the trees for use as hedges or for use as a corner planting in your garden. To add a level of symmetry to the garden, clusters can be used at the ends or middle of shrub borders.
