Ilex x altaclerensis (Holly) 'Golden King'
A robust and versatile evergreen, this holly is a superb choice for year-round structure in gardens and hedgerows. Its glossy, dark green leaves with subtle spines create a dense, elegant screen, while the occasional bright red berries add a festive winter touch. Thriving in both sun and shade, it adapts well to most well-drained soils and tolerates coastal conditions. With a naturally upright yet manageable growth habit, it works beautifully as a tall hedge, windbreak, or striking standalone specimen. The plant's resilience to pruning makes it easy to maintain, ensuring a polished look for any landscape.
