The deciduous holly Ilex verticillata ‘Magical Berry’ is renowned for its breathtaking yield of vivid red berries that adorn the branches during the autumn and winter months. Producing masses of vibrant berries, this hardy shrub creates a striking contrast to the bare stems that’s sure to stand out in any outdoor space.
Producing dark green foliage that turns shades of yellow before shedding, this “Magical Berry” tree is ideal for drawing birds to your garden and creates a stunning array of colour through the winter season.
Perfect for planting in full sun or partial shade in moist, well-drained, acidic soil, this berry tree creates a deep root system when watered frequently during the growing season. You can plant a male pollinator close by for maximum berry production, increasing the masses of bold-coloured berries.
If you’d prefer to preserve the shape and promote new growth, this berry tree can be pruned in late winter or early spring to produce the best results, or it can be left to grow wild to create a unique and natural shape. Perfect as a winter focal point or for hedging, this Holly tree boasts a height of 150-160cm, which makes it ideal for keeping in stylish planters or placed straight into the garden.
Normally setting shoppers back by £179.99, this clearance sale is offering the stunning Holly tree at a majorly reduced price of £79.99 while this sale lasts.
