Holm Oak Instant Hedge

Holm Oak (Quercus ilex) takes its name from Holm, an ancient name for Holly due to the shape of its leaves.  A Holm Oak Instant Hedge has glossy, dark green leaves which are pale whitish-grey underneath; yellow catkins grow in spring/early summer and young acorns are green when emerging in spring, turning dark red-brown before falling.

Holm Oak or Evergreen Oak makes a robust and sturdy hedge barrier; it is hardy, thriving in all well-drained soils. It is suitable for coastal areas, tolerates shade and copes well with air pollution.

This Instant Hedging is available as Practical Instant Hedge at 1.6/1.8m high.

Holm Oak has a medium growth rate (20 – 30 cm/year) and responds well to trimming.
