Ilex crenata - Half Standard -Clear Stem 4 metres glossy green leaves on redAlso known as Japanese Holly, Ilex crenata is evergreen with dark glossy leaves. It is slow growing so is well suited for topiary and is often used as an alternative to box. New leaves emerge a lighter shade of green and darken in colour over a few months as they mature. These topiary trees have been trained in a classic lollipop shape with a straight clear stem topped with ball shaped head.
