Where to get a holly tree?
 

I have seen several holly trees in the Cape Cod area and would like to
put one in our front yard. Those I have seen are about 15 feet high
and probably the same width.

Does anyone know of a source for such a tree?

TIA

John

Holly is pretty easy to root. Why not take a few cuttings from a tree that
you like?

Good idea, Pat. John Bachman, would this suggestion work or do you need
a larger specimen?
If so, perhaps of the native plant nurseries in your area would have
some inventory.

Just fyi, there is a *serious* shortage of Ilex opaca in the industry,
although last year seemed to be the 'watershed low' in terms of
availability.

Yeahbut . . . I. Opaca isn't the only native kid (holly) on the
block that makes a good yard tree.

Look for I. montana (30 feet), or I. vomitoria (as long as you
stay away from that dwarf monstrosity that is so common in the
nurseries) also makes an excellent, colorful yard tree to about
20 feet.
