Evergreen Ilex Crenata Convexa Hedging will form a neat, compact and long lasting hedge relatively quickly and it won’t get Box blight!
Ilex Crenata Hedging (Japanese Holly Hedge) is a blight-free shrub that is similar in appearance to Box (Buxus Sempervirens) but is faster growing yet just as easy to prune and maintain (once per year will suffice). With its small, dark green leaves, Ilex Crenata (Japanese Holly) is quite often mistaken for Box. Native to the Japanese Highlands, Ilex Crenata is a hardy and handsome evergreen shrub. It is in fact a perfect hedging plant, particularly if you are based in an area that is suffering (or has recently suffered) from the dreaded Box Blight.
