Ilex crenata Cone | 80-90cm tall | Japanese Holly

Ilex Crenata Cone – Large Japanese Holly Topiary

At 80–90cm, this is a substantial, statement topiary specimen. Ilex crenata’s fine-textured, deep green foliage holds a precise cone form with exceptional clarity — delivering the architectural presence of mature box topiary without any of the disease vulnerability. A premium choice for gardeners who want immediate impact.

Size & Specification

Supplied at 80–90cm tall, these are large, well-established specimens with years of careful shaping behind them. Arrive with a defined, sharp cone profile ready to anchor a pot, entrance, or formal border from day one.

Why Choose Ilex Crenata Over Box?

• Fully resistant to box blight and box tree moth — no spraying required
• Dense, fine-leaved foliage holds a clean, architectural shape
• Deep evergreen colour and structure year-round
• Excellent in large containers, flanking entrances, and formal schemes
• Long-lived investment plant with minimal annual maintenance

Growing Guidance

Thrives in full sun to partial shade in most well-drained soils. At this size, Ilex crenata is particularly impressive in large statement pots on terraces or flanking doorways. Feed with a slow-release fertiliser in spring and clip once or twice a year to maintain the cone profile.
