Ilex Golden Oakland®
Ilex Golden Oakland® (Holly) is a large, dense evergreen shrub known for its stiff upright pyramidal habit and bold architectural presence in the landscape. The distinctive oak-shaped, spiny foliage of Ilex Golden Oakland® emerges a rich golden color before gradually developing green centers, creating a striking variegated effect that lasts through much of the growing season. As the leaves mature, Ilex Golden Oakland® transitions to deeper green tones while maintaining strong texture and year-round structure. Lightly fragrant spring flowers may develop into ornamental berries when properly pollinated, adding additional seasonal interest. Ideal for hedges, privacy screens, and specimen plantings, Ilex Golden Oakland® thrives in moist, slightly acidic, well-drained soils. Gardeners appreciate Ilex Golden Oakland® for its bold foliage color, strong growth habit, and reliable evergreen performance in both formal and natural landscape designs.
