Sub-tropical evergreen shrub that thrives in our heavy clay soil. Grows best in morning sun and afternoon shade. The fragrant white flowers look very similar to gardenia blooms. Blooms heavily spring through fall. Makes an excellent multi or single-trunk tree and does well in large containers on a patio or in an entryway. A natural hybrid of the Dahoon Holly and American Holly. Eagleston is a beautiful evergreen holly that is grown as a large shrub or small tree with a pyramidal growth habit.

Finding and growing a healthy premium quality plant or tree takes extra time and effort. We pride ourselves in growing specimen plants and trees. As landscapers ourselves, we found it more and more difficult to find top quality plant materials. Therefore, we decided to start growing it ourselves. We were so pleased with the product we now have 80 acres in production growing specimen plants and trees to sell to other landscapers and home owners who were having the same challenge. We have select plant material in all sizes, from 4 color to 100 gallon trees.
