They have the potential to be trained into a standard, which can look attractive in a mixed border.  Hollies are also good to grow in a coastal garden and tolerate urban pollution. Hollies are suitable to make a wind resistant hedge,  and once planted resent transplanting. An easy maintenance free shrub. In terms of size and spread, many Hollies are large, 12- 20 metres is not uncommon. \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"title\"\u003eType:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEvergreen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"title\"\u003eToxicity:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eToxic to humans and animals if ingested\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cardpop-modal-body\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Meadow Grange Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47816740864259,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/3104\/2307\/files\/Ilex.jpg?v=1772629370","url":"https:\/\/meadowgrangenursery.co.uk\/products\/ilex","provider":"Meadow Grange Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
