One of the hollies was £600, the other £300. Looking on the internet I
seem to see hollies (not the variegated) type at 2.5 m tall for around
£60, which makes me wonder why I paid so much for these. The largest is
a pretty big plant though - it is as much as I can do to drag the pot
along the ground, and have no chance to lift it. Someone is going to
give me help to put it in. Digging the whole is enough work!

Those prices seem very high but do we know where you live, Dave? If we do,
people here who live in that area might be able to direct you to a good
nursery for hedging plants. You could have a look at www.HedgesDirect.co.uk
for any further hedging needs or get bare root hedging from a reliable
source locally. This is coming up to the time to plant them.
