Add item to quote to see pricing

Quercus ilex (Multi) is a formidable tree known by several names - Holm Oak, Holly Oak, or Evergreen Oak, featuring enduring splendor bestowed by its verdant, glossy leaves and smooth, grey bark. Indigenous to the Mediterranean region, this striking evergreen tree is lauded for its resilience, thriving in diverse soils and climate conditions, including coastal and urban environments. Its versatility extends to its architectural silhouette, beginning as a conical shape in its youthful stages and gradually evolving into a commanding rounded or irregular crown that boosts landscape interest. Summer invites an understated display of yellow flowers, soon followed by acorn fruits that become an additional attraction against its year-around foliage. With moderate to low water usage, the Quercus ilex is a drought-tolerant gem and an attractive, low-maintenance addition to any garden or landscape project, breathing life, beauty, and a hint of the Mediterranean into your outdoor sanctuary.
