Grow Holm Oak trees in any moist, but well-drained soil in full sun or dappled shade. Quercus ilex is tolerant of a wide range of conditons including coastal sites, however it resents particularly cold areas inland.

Water regularly duriung the first year after planting. Once established, Oak trees require virtually no further maintenance if grown as a free standing specimen. When growing Holm Oak as a hedge it will need regular pruning each summer to maintain its shape.

Van Meuwen strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
