  • Dense pyramidal shape with rich, glossy green evergreen foliage
  • Bright red berries appear in fall and last into winter

  • Excellent bird habitat and winter food source
  • Requires a male holly nearby for berry production

Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip

To ensure berry production, pair Festive® Red Holly with a male pollinator such as Blue Prince Holly. Position the male within 20 to 30 feet for optimal cross-pollination. When creating a privacy hedge, stagger planting to soften lines and allow for natural shaping.

Why Plant Festive® Red Holly?

Festive® Red Holly lives up to its name, offering deep green foliage and a spectacular winter display of bright red berries that birds and humans alike will appreciate. This female holly cultivar is known for its upright, pyramidal shape and exceptional fruit set when a male pollinator is planted nearby. It brings reliable color and privacy to the garden throughout all four seasons. Whether you are creating a wildlife-friendly landscape or seeking a stately evergreen for year-round structure, Festive® Red Holly delivers both beauty and function.

How to use Festive® Red Holly in the landscape?

Plant Festive® Red Holly as a standalone specimen, a hedge, or in a group planting for a bold privacy screen. Its uniform growth habit lends itself well to formal gardens and foundation plantings. In colder months, the brilliant red berries shine against the green foliage, providing a striking contrast to winter's subdued palette.

How Does Shipping Work?

Bower & Branch Trees, the real BIG trees, don’t fit in a box! Our big trees, sizes XL and bigger, require expert delivery and care, that means our extra-large trees are shipped on Bower & Branch trucks. We are the only ones who know how to ship our big and bigger trees and plants with tender loving care. We deliver your trees and plants directly to you. Ask Bower & Branch about planting services – we'd be happy to assist in installation.

*For Big trees and Shrubs, Size XL and bigger: Review our Seasonal Shipping Timelines and Policy here.

Your trees and plants are grown across the United States at various Bower & Branch Growers. Depending on your location, your plant orders may be shipped from various locations. Please expect orders with multiple items to be delivered over a number of days as a result. Orders made up of numerous items or selections will not arrive at your home on the same day.

Shipping Delays:

From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.

How Does Sizing Work?

The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)

Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.

All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
