The American Holly varieties listed below are all selections that Roberts Holly Farm is proud to release for sale.  These hollies come from the same beautiful selection of hollies that we grow at our holly farm.  These collectors hollies were chosen for their leaf color, growing habit, vigor, and berry set.

Here at Roberts Holly Farm we take our cuttings from the very finest hollies at our farm.  After cuttings are taken, these collectors hollies are then sent to a propagator for rooting for 6 to 8 months, allowing them to develop well established root systems prior to potting.  Before these hollies are ready to be sold, we grow them for another 16 to 24 months in 1 gallon containers to guarantee.
