A classic female variety, Holly 'Green Alaska' closely resembles its species with its glossy green, spiny foliage and spherical, shiny red berries. Over time, this attractive variety develops into a narrowly upright, dense evergreen tree that provides excellent cover and serves as a valuable food source for winter birds. Once established, it is known for its abundant shiny red berries that appear just in time for Christmas, making it a vibrant addition to wreaths and other holiday decorations. This hardy evergreen is particularly robust, making it an excellent choice for a windbreak and ensuring year-round interest, even in the coldest gardens. The diameter of the holly head is 20-30cm. Ultimate height (if left unpruned): 10m (32') Ultimate spread (if left unpruned): 3m (9') Please note: The ribbon in the photo is not included. Since plant height and spread vary seasonally, we list by pot size rather than a specific plant size. The height and spread of the delivered plant will vary depending on the season, so the arrival images are for reference only. Hollies are dioecious, meaning they have separate male and female flowers on different plants. To produce berries, you need both a male and female plant for pollination. Female plants will only produce berries if fertilized by pollen from a male plant. Therefore, it’s essential to have both within 200 yards (183m) of each other for reliable and abundant berry production. Suitable male options include Ilex aquifolium ‘Golden Queen’ or 'Silver Queen'.
