‘Oakleaf’ is the tallest of the Red Holly Hybrids.
Planted an Oakleaf in the fall of 2009 purchased from Dales Greenhouse in Sanford, NC. This is a beautiful shrub/tree, but it will need protection from winter winds. Unfortunately we planted in a place that receives much wind all year. Our tree received severe winter burn including the leader. We were able to shear off the lower winter burned branches, and we are hoping the damaged leader will continue to allow the tree to grow.
I would highly recommend this holly as it is quite beautiful.
