The Golden Oakland Holly, a gem from the SOUTHERN LIVING Plant Collection, is a beautiful upright holly shrub. It boasts golden-yellow variegated leaves that resemble oak and are adorned with multiple pointed edges. This holly exhibits a pyramidal growth pattern and is naturally dense and compact, minimizing the need for regular maintenance. Once fully grown, it can tower between 15 ft. to 20 ft. in height and spread 12 ft. to 15 ft. in width, making it an ideal choice for privacy hedges.It effectively shields against prying eyes and ambient street noises. This majestic plant can be positioned at a foundation's corner, used as a standalone specimen or even potted in a large container. Suited for USDA Zones 6-9, it thrives best in full to partial Sunlight and requires soil that offers decent drainage. During its first growth season, ensure watering 2-3 times a week. A dose of slow-release fertilizer in early spring keeps it flourishing. These Golden Oakland Hollies come well-rooted in a 2.5 qt. pot and are primed for landscaping or repotting. When dispatched, expect these bushes to measure between 7 in. and 12 in. W.
