For those looking to add a touch of refined, evergreen elegance to their landscape, the Eagleston Holly (Ilex × attenuata ‘Eagleston’) is an excellent choice. This hybrid holly, combining the best traits of its parent species, is celebrated for its dense, pyramidal shape and glossy, deep green leaves. Typically reaching a manageable height of 15 to 20 feet with a spread of about 10 feet, the Eagleston Holly is ideal for creating a striking visual impact in both large and small spaces.

This tree is particularly noted for its abundant production of bright red berries in the fall and winter, providing a stunning contrast against its lush foliage. These berries not only add to the tree’s aesthetic appeal but also attract a variety of birds, making it a lively addition to any garden.

When planting an Eagleston Holly, it’s important to consider its preference for well-drained, slightly acidic soil and full to partial sun exposure. This tree is adaptable to various conditions, including urban environments, and once established, it becomes quite drought-resistant, requiring minimal care.

Pruning the Eagleston Holly is straightforward and can be done to maintain its shape or to encourage denser growth. It’s generally best to prune in late winter or early spring, before new growth begins.

Incorporating an Eagleston Holly into your landscape means more than just adding a tree; it’s about bringing year-round beauty and structure to your outdoor space. Its ease of care and versatile nature makes it a favored choice among gardeners and landscape designers.
