Ilex aquifolium
What is Holly
Holly is an upright evergreen shrub or small tree growing to 15m tall. It has dark green, prickly leaves and small off-white flowers borne in the axils of the leaves. Flowers develop into rounded and glistening dark red berries, appearing in autumn.
The berries are eaten by birds which disperse the seeds into forests and bushland.
Holly’s a particular problem in cooler climates with reliable rainfall. And, understandably, the prickles on the young growth make removing holly even more of a challenge.
How to protect your plants
Small plants can be removed manually when using appropriate protection against prickles. For more established plants, apply Yates Zero Super Concentrate Weedkiller as per label instructions for unwanted trees.
Yates Woody Weedkiller - Concentrate
Particularly effective weedkiller for woody scrub weeds, hard-to-kill broadleaf weeds and re-sprouting tree stumps.
