Oakland™ Holly is a hybrid shrub or small tree that remains green year-round, featuring vibrant, oak-like leaves and striking red berries during the autumn months. For optimal growth, it should be planted in areas that receive full sun to partial shade, in soil that is moist and well-drained. While it thrives in acidic conditions, it can adapt to a variety of soil pH levels. This versatile plant serves beautifully as an accent piece, a specimen plant, or within shrub borders, and it can also function effectively as a hedge or privacy screen. A light pruning in early spring will help maintain its shape.

Regarding pests and diseases, this variety has been specifically developed to resist both insects and common plant ailments.
