Popular Hedge for Complete Year-Round Privacy
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.

1 Gallon Nellie Stevens Holly
I was pleasantly surprised with the size and quality of the 6 Nellie Stevens Holly I received. Ordering the 1 gallon size, I half expected them to be tiny, but they are uniform in size, about 20" tall. Added bonus, several have blooms, a couple have berries and they all have new growth on than! I can hardly wait to see how they do!
Nice plants at a good deal!
Bought these for the first time with this company. They came well packaged and they were well prepared. They were not dried out in the box! They were ready to plant!! Plants were all healthy and at a good size for the gallon deal! I bought 6! Will be back to get more plants in the future! A positive experience for the first purchase! Thank you!
Very small but well-rooted and hardy
They came well-packed and quickly. They looked like twigs but had very developed roots. The price was okay but not quite competitive with Home Depot, where I found larger plants for only a little bit more.
I bought a dozen years
I bought a dozen years ago, and they made an excellent hedge. I lost a couple because the rabbits love them. I had to fence them in until matured. The ones I bought replace the ones I lost.
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.
