Nellie Stevens Holly, a heat-tolerant marvel, thrives in hot southern areas, growing as a large, dense evergreen shrub or a small tree, reaching 15-25’ in height and 8-12’ wide. Adaptable to partial sun or shade, these hollies stay lush and deep green year-round, resisting browning common in other hedge trees during heat or drought. Offering versatility in growth, whether naturally dense or pruned into a tall box hedge, Nellie Stevens is a popular choice for hedging and privacy screening, growing up to 3 feet annually and thriving with minimal care. With its vigorous growth, broad pyramidal form, and lustrous dark green foliage, this holly is not only a visual delight but also a functional addition, producing large, bright orange-red berries without the need for a male pollinizer.
