American Holly Tree for Sale Online

Elevate any landscape with the lustrous and vibrant specimen that is the American Holly Tree!

American Holly Trees (Ilex opaca), also known as White Holly or Christmas Holly, are beautiful, fast-growing evergreen trees that keep their vibrant, deep green color all year long!

Additional notable qualities of these gorgeous landscaping staples include a uniform pyramidal shape and bright red berries in the winter! The red glow of the berries contrasts nicely with the green leathery foliage and makes a beautiful ornamental tree. As an added bonus, birds love the holly berries and will be attracted to your landscape during the winter!

The evergreen Holly Tree is dioecious, meaning separate trees will have either male or female flowers, but not both. In order to produce berries, a male cultivar must be near a female tree so pollinators can do their work.

Native to the rich bottomlands and swamp margin areas of the eastern and central U.S., the American Holly grows best in moist atmospheres and loamy, acidic, well-draining soil. These trees also enjoy conditions of full sun and will happily tolerate harsh winter winds.

The elegant plant not only provides a pleasant view to onlookers but also works to provide nectar for pollinators. Holly Trees also make great privacy hedges due to their large pyramidal shape and ability to remain a lush green year-round.

Additionally, people often use Holly Trees as foundation plantings. The American Holly adds a festive touch to any outdoor space throughout the winter holidays.
