The Magland Oakland Holly (Ilex x 'Magland') is a hybrid evergreen holly variety known for its attractive foliage, compact growth habit, and showy red berries. This low-maintenance, upright tree is an excellent choice for adding year-round interest and structure to the landscape.
Magland Oakland Holly is a medium-sized, slow-growing evergreen tree, typically reaching heights of 15 to 20 feet with a spread of 12 to 15 feet. It is well-suited for USDA hardiness zones 6 to 9 and thrives in well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade. This variety of holly is appreciated for its columnar shape and dense branching, making it an ideal choice for privacy screens, hedges, or specimen plantings. Its moderate size and adaptability also make it suitable for various landscape settings, including urban and suburban gardens.
One of the most striking features of the Magland Oakland Holly is its glossy, dark green foliage. The leaves are simple, elliptical in shape, and have a slightly serrated edge, giving the tree a classic holly appearance. The evergreen foliage provides a lush backdrop for the tree's red berries and adds year-round color and texture to the garden. Additionally, the Magland Oakland Holly is known for its excellent resistance to pests and diseases, making it a low-maintenance choice for any landscape.
During the fall and winter months, the Magland Oakland Holly produces an abundance of showy red berries, which add a pop of color to the garden and serve as an important food source for birds and other wildlife. The small, round fruits are typically clustered along the branches, creating a striking contrast against the dark green foliage. It is important to note that, like most holly varieties, the Magland Oakland Holly is dioecious, meaning that both male and female plants are required for fruit production. Therefore, planting a compatible male holly variety nearby will ensure successful pollination and fruit set.
