Why Nellie Stevens Hollies?
The Nellie Stevens has soared in popularity. Why? Well, for starters, it's the ideal selection for both hedging and privacy screening, especially since it grows up to 3 feet each year.
Plus, it thrives on neglect. No green thumb is no problem since they grow in sun or partial shade. And you'll appreciate how these holly trees stay deep green year-round, unlike other hedge trees that can brown out during either the summer heat or mild droughts.
Plant each Nellie Stevens Holly 5 to 6 feet apart for a living wall that gives you complete privacy, no holes and no gaps. You control how they grow - whether that's naturally into a dense, pyramidal shape that matures at 15 to 25 feet in height, or pruned into a tall box hedge.

Dazzling, graceful wildlife also emerges since those berries attract an array of birds.

My 1st order - so impressed. Thank you!
Just received my first order of a Nellie Stevens Holly. I couldn't be more impressed. It's beautiful. The quality of the plant and the care in packing is exemplary. I can't wait to go plant it. Highly recommend.
Good Experience. Very Pleased.
Very pleased. Ordered these Nellie Stevens Holly bushes on Friday and arrived the next Thursday. Very healthy and nice looking. Arrived well boxed. I will definitely be ordering from FastGrowingTree.com again.
Wonderful Buy!
My tree's arrived yesterday. In wonderful condition. They're beautiful. I cannot wait to plant these. I'm planning to build a wrought iron fence and plan to plant these beauties in front of it.
Good looking plants
Good. Quick delivery. Some plants were shipped contrary to box directio. “This side up”. This was probably a shipper error and not the provider.
Great place!
WIsh I had found this place sooner instead of buying much smaller plants for more at other sites! The holly bushes arrived in excellent condition with very speedy delivery. I have since ordered other varieties (roses, wax myrtle, rhododendron) bushes for a privacy screen. All are in great condition and thriving. I have recommended this place to a friend and wouldn't hesitate to buy again or recommend.
