A superb holly that you can grow as a large shrub or remove lower branches to form a very attractive small tree 15 to 20 feet in height, the Oakland Holly is admired for its distinct and handsome oak leaf-shaped leaves that emerge a burgundy color before maturing to a rich olive-green. The Oakland Holly is perfect for framing the corners of homes and other structures or in privacy screen plantings.
