supplier who will be haapy to deal with you direct - far cheaper
and bettter qaulaity than plans that hve been sitting in the GC
with inadeqaute TLC. Retail mark up is 100% on the pre vat ex
nursery price, os there is a big saving to be made if you take the
time to seasch out the right supplier.

And wait a while for the bare root stock to come in, much cheaper
than potted / container grown.





ISTBCB, bare root holly is not nomally availble

Ah, very small. I doubt you will find anything much larger

Holly in larger forms is best bought container grown - NOT containerized -
and definitely not bare rooted.

or from a good nursery who have treated the plant correctly in ground over
several years to make rootballing possible
these people are good:
