Description
A fabulous standard patio tree, and one we're sure very few of your neighbours will be growing - an expertly shaped and attractive 'Blue Maid' Holly Tree.
This evergreen variety looks exceptional regardless of the season, including a scattering of tiny white flowers in spring. Leaves boast the same look and texture we come to expect from a holly, but are thankfully less spiky, with a distinct contrast between light green undersides and a deep blue-green top.
'Blue Maid' is a female variety of the blue holly, so when grown near a male variety can produce bright red autumnal berries. An ideal topiary specimen, with branches typically holding onto leaves far better than others, resulting in a dense head of foliage. Grow in a pot or border to add height or plant a number together for an unusual hedge.
Plus, this tough and hardy variety isn't easily damaged, with a top tolerance to British weather conditions. 'Blue Maid' can withstand temperatures down to -27C without damage, with just an annual trim needed to keep the standard in shape.
What's more, this makes a beautiful gift for a loved one, and we'll even do the gift wrapping for you! Wrapped in a brown hessian bag with a green fabric bow.
Supplied as an established standard plant, approximately 80cm tall and gift wrapped, ready to plant or gift.
Top Tips
Hollies need almost no maintenance if you keep them well-watered for the first couple of years to enable them to establish.
Care Information
- They are more or less trouble-free, with moderately fast growth.
- The more light that your holly receives, the more leaves it will produce, so plant it where it will get maximum light.
- For berry productions, be sure to plant alongside, or nearby, a male species holly tree.
Delivery Information
Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.
Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.
We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.
Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.
Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.
Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
