Ilex opaca 'Dan Fenton' is a remarkable specimen in the world of landscaping trees. Known as the Dan Fenton American Holly, it gloriously exhibits a shape as dense as a pyramid, cloaked in dark, glossy-green leaves that remain evergreen through every season. Standing gallantly between 15-30 feet tall and spanning 10-20 feet wide, it boldly asserts its presence, adding a monumental value to your garden. When fall arrives, it garnishes itself with a festoon of bright red berries, presenting an enticing spectacle for a variety of bird species. Its festivity continues to splash color through the winter months, holding fast to its berries and offering a food source when supplies are scarce. Hardy but elegant, it displays a resilience to pests and diseases, demonstrating its ability to thrive in conditions ranging from full sun to partial shade, requiring only moderate watering and favoring well-drained, acidic soil. A tree of substance and functionality, it can serve brilliantly as your natural privacy screen, coupling ecological contribution with visual appeal. It is crucial to note that this tree is a female specimen — meaning a nearby male holly is required to guarantee its vibrant berry production. A marriage of beauty and robustness, the Dan Fenton American Holly is a true gem for dynamic, year-round landscape designs.
