The Eagleston Holly is known for its dense, pyramidal growth habit and its ability to tolerate a variety of growing conditions. It typically reaches a height of 15 to 25 feet (4.5 to 7.6 meters) with a spread of 10 to 15 feet (3 to 4.5 meters), making it suitable for hedges, screens, or as a standalone specimen plant.
This holly variety has glossy, dark green leaves with serrated edges. It produces small white flowers in the spring, which are followed by bright red berries in the fall and winter. The berries are a valuable food source for birds and add a pop of color to the landscape.
The Eagleston Holly is known for its adaptability to different soil types, including sandy or clay soils. It prefers full sun to partial shade and is relatively low-maintenance once established. Regular pruning can help maintain its shape and promote healthy growth.
