Nellie R. Stevens Holly
Nellie R. Stevens Holly is one of the most popular evergreen hollies for privacy screens and formal landscapes. It grows in a dense, pyramidal shape with deep green, glossy foliage and bright red berries that attract birds in winter.
This vigorous holly is drought-tolerant once established and can grow up to 3 feet per year, making it a favorite for creating fast privacy barriers or elegant evergreen backdrops.
