Why plant Foster Holly?

Foster Holly is a sophisticated evergreen that brings year-round beauty and structure to the landscape. With its naturally columnar shape, this tree fits perfectly where space is limited but impact is still needed. Its glossy, deep green leaves remain attractive through every season, and come fall and winter, clusters of vivid red berries burst onto the scene—without the need for a separate male pollinator. Foster Holly is both elegant and resilient, offering privacy, color, and food for wildlife with minimal effort. Whether you’re building a screen, defining a space, or crafting a formal look, Foster Holly is a timeless choice.

How to use Foster Holly in the landscape?

Use Foster Holly as a tall hedge, privacy screen, or formal vertical accent. Its narrow footprint makes it ideal for planting along fences, near foundations, or lining driveways. It also works well as a specimen tree in smaller spaces or containers when young.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, Foster Holly is self-pollinating and does not require a male tree nearby to produce berries, though nearby hollies may increase berry production.

Yes, Foster Holly can be pruned in late winter or early spring to shape or size. It responds well to trimming and can be maintained as a hedge or screen.

Foster Holly is moderately deer resistant. While not deer-proof, the tough, spiny foliage is less appealing to browsing animals.
