When do you plant Japanese holly?
Japanese holly is best planted in spring or autumn, when the ground is not frozen. Water well after planting and keep the soil slightly moist during the first season.
Is Ilex crenata a good alternative to box?
Yes, like box, Ilex crenata has small, dark green leaves and is easy to clip into shape. It is not affected by the box tree moth and is therefore a popular replacement for low hedges and edging.
Is Ilex crenata 'Jenny' evergreen and hardy?
Yes, Ilex crenata 'Jenny' keeps its leaves in winter and is hardy in Dutch gardens. During long, dry frost some leaves may discolour; they grow back in spring.
When do you prune Ilex crenata?
Clip Japanese holly in spring and, if you want to keep it neat, once more in summer. It tolerates pruning well and then sprouts densely again.
