GREEN LUSTER FEMALE JAPANESE HOLLY

Ilex crenata 'Green Lustre' is commonly referred to as Green Lustre Japanese Holly. It is a dense, multi-stemmed, low-growing shrub with an excellent branching habit and lustrous dark green evergreen foliage and showy black fruit in late summer. It is easy to grow and best pruned in late winter once the extreme cold has passed.

Green Lustre Holly thrives in full sun to partial shade and is hardier than many Japanese hollies. It enjoys rich, acidic, moist soils and will tolerate some standing water at times. It is tolerant of urban pollution and salt, and can thrive in city environments. It is ideal as a low hedge and is a good sub for boxwood.

Planting Tips ⓘ

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in fertile, acidic, and well-draining soil, selecting a location that ranges from full sun to partial shade depending on the specific cultivar. These versatile shrubs generally prefer consistent moisture, especially during the first growing season to establish strong root systems, and they benefit from protection against harsh, drying winds. Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead wood or to shape the plant, which encourages dense, healthy foliage and helps maintain a manageable size. Apply a layer of organic mulch around the root zone to conserve moisture and maintain soil acidity, taking care to keep the material a few inches away from the crown to prevent stem rot.
