Holly (Ilex aquifolium ‘J.C. van Tol’) is one of the best berry producers for garden wildlife - a rare self-fertile holly, meaning it reliably bears loads of bright red berries even without a nearby male pollinator.

Unlike many hollies, ‘J.C. van Tol’ has smooth-edged, almost spineless leaves, making it easier to handle while still providing dense, glossy evergreen cover for nesting birds and shelter for small mammals. Please Note: Our Specialist Nursery trees are grown and supplied seasonally. During the summer growing period, deliveries pause while the nursery focuses on nurturing the next season’s stock. Orders placed after 1 June may therefore be held for delivery from August onwards.

Joel says: “‘J.C. van Tol’ is my top pick for heavy holly berries - self-fertile, glossy, and safe cover for birds all year round. Smooth leaves too, so easy to manage.” Supplied in a 7 litre container.

Overview

Additional Info

Hardy, tidy and very low maintenance, it grows naturally upright to about 3-5 metres tall if left unpruned, but responds well to clipping for hedges or formal shapes. Its heavy crops of berries are a winter feast for blackbirds, thrushes and other garden birds.
