Ilex crenata 'Fastigiata'
Ilex crenata 'Fastigiata' is a slow-growing, narrow-upright Japanese holly prized for its neat columnar habit and soft-edged mid-green foliage which remains consistent year-round. In spring it bears small clusters of creamy-white flowers, which are followed by ornamental black berries, adding wildlife appeal.
Extremely hardy and versatile, this evergreen shrub is ideal for hedging, screening or accent planting, especially where space is restricted. With minimal pruning required, it offers structured evergreen form and year-round greenery. A holder of the RHS Award of Garden Merit, it’s a reliable choice for both formal and informal gardens.
