Eagleston Holly (Ilex x Attenuata) is a beautiful evergreen holly that is grown as a large shrub or small tree with a natural pyramidal growth habit. They will grow 15-25′ tall with a 10-15′ spread. Their medium growth rate allows them to be kept in their pyramidal shape with minimal upkeep or to be shaped to fit the finished project’s design plan. The tree has a dense canopy with small slender branches which are smooth and light to medium gray in color. During the cooler months, it produces an abundance of bright red, round berries. Eagleston Holly is less prone to many diseases common in the holly family, and the landscape industry has swayed to favor the Eagleston over other Holly varieties. It is becoming quite popular in the trade because it makes an excellent privacy hedge with little care. The Eagleston Holly can be used for many landscape settings as either a tall screen or a solitary specimen when grown with a single trunk tree form. Eagleston Hollies can be grown with clear trunks or full to the ground. Eagleston Holly thrives in zones 6 to 9.
