How close should 3 gallon Oakland holly be planted?
When planting Oakland Holly (Ilex x 'Conaf'), the spacing depends on how you plan to use them in your landscape. Here’s a general guideline:
-
For a Hedge or Screen:
- If you're planting them to form a dense hedge or privacy screen, space the 3-gallon Oakland Holly plants about 4 to 6 feet apart. This spacing allows the plants to grow together, creating a thick, uniform barrier.
-
For Individual Specimens:
- If you’re planting them as individual specimens or want them to grow as stand-alone shrubs with space around each one, space them 8 to 10 feet apart. This gives each plant enough room to develop its natural shape without crowding.
Oakland Holly can grow up to 15 to 20 feet tall and 12 to 15 feet wide at maturity, so giving them adequate space will ensure they grow healthily and achieve their full potential.

I'm not entirely sure why people aren't taking advantage of the best price on the internet for a gorgeous and fast growing hedge. I was looking for a fast growing privacy hedge that isn't as prickly as the needlepoint but still has the thick, dense foliage and the berries for a Christmas look. These come beautifully packaged and ready to go. Within two months (and the worst drought we've had in about a century) they have already grown 2 inches. An absolute steal for the quality folks!
