Thompson and Morgan Ilex Green Alaska Plant in Pot

Bring a touch of traditional Christmas cheer to your home or garden with this Ilex Aquifolium ‘Green Alaska’ holly tree. Already shaped into an attractive standard form, this two-year-old plant stands at up to 1m tall with a 20-30cm ball head, providing instant impact. Its glossy, spiny green foliage remains vibrant all year round, while clusters of bright red berries add a festive flourish during the winter months - perfect for wreaths and decorations. This female variety is renowned for its abundant berry production. Easily maintained with occasional clipping (once or twice a year) to retain its neat shape, this robust evergreen thrives in moist, well-drained soil, whether in a border or large container. Choose a sunny or partially shaded spot. Regular feeding and watering will help establish the plant. Prune young trees in summer, removing any damaged stems. At maturity, expect this holly to reach up to 2m in height and 60cm spread.
