Straight from the grower
Straight from the grower
We have been growing our plants with great passion since 1976. We are therefore proud that the third generation is now at the helm of our family business. All plants and trees we supply come either directly from our own nursery or from fellow nurseries that work in partnership with Heijnen. Through our close cooperation with various skilled growers, plant importers and other professionals, we guarantee products that are as fresh and high quality as possible. What this means for you is healthy and beautiful plants and trees straight from the nursery at competitive prices.

Root type
Root type

A plant or tree can be delivered in a pot, with a root ball or with bare roots.

  • Pot: the advantage of plants grown in pots is that they can be planted all year round, with the exception of periods of frost. After planting, both the root system and the visible, above-ground parts of the plant/tree will continue to grow immediately, provided temperatures are high enough.
  • Root ball: plants and trees with (wired) root balls can be planted roughly between October and April, depending on the weather. During these months, the plants are dormant and at their least vulnerable, which is ideal for planting. Because the plants are freshly uprooted (dug up) at the growers, the root system may be somewhat damaged. Once planted, the plant/tree will first form new roots and will then continue to grow above ground.
  • Bare roots: plants and trees delivered with bare roots can be planted roughly between October and April, depending on the weather. During these months, the plants are dormant and at their least vulnerable, which is ideal for planting. Because the plants are freshly uprooted (dug up) at the growers, the root system may be somewhat damaged. Once planted, the plant/tree will first form new roots and will then continue to grow above ground. Because there is no sand on the roots, the plants are lightweight and therefore easy to carry.
Height at time of delivery (cm)
Height at time of delivery (cm)

'Height without root ball' refers to the measurement of a plant or tree where the height is measured without taking into account the underlying root ball of roots and soil normally present when the plant is moved. When measuring height without root ball, only the visible part of the plant above ground, such as the trunk/stem, branches and leaves, is taken into account, while the root ball that is normally below ground is excluded from the measurement.

Height at time of delivery (cm)
Width at time of delivery (cm)
Width at time of delivery (cm)

Our plants can be ordered in different sizes. By width on delivery (cm), we mean the approximate width of the plant in centimetres when we deliver it to you.

The number of centimetres indicated refers to the widest part of the plant. It may not be as wide in other places, since it is a natural product and does not have standard dimensions.

Positioning
Positioning

By positioning, we mean the number of hours of sunlight at the spot where the plants are to be placed. There are three categories for this, namely:

  • Sun - more than 4 hours of sun per day
  • Partial shade - up to 4 hours of sun per day
  • Shade - less than 2 hours of sun per day

The type of soil is of minor importance in most cases, unless otherwise stated for the product.

Application
Application

By 'application' we mean how the planting can be used in the garden. In this, we distinguish between the possible applications below:

Border: also called a bed, this is a strip of ground (part of the garden) intended for planting. Due to the construction of paths, terraces and lawn, a garden often consists of multiple borders:

  • Group planting: plants that are at their best when placed together in small or large groups and can be easily combined with other garden plants if desired.
  • Edge planting: mostly low-growing plants that are suitable for use at the edge of borders and so provide a nice progression from low to tall plants.
  • Underplanting: mostly shade-loving plants that can be planted under large shrubs and trees.

Solitary: a plant (usually a larger shrub) that does best when planted alone and not with several of the same variety together. A solitary plant is a real eye-catcher and also provides 'body' to the garden. You place a solitary plant in a border in combination with (relatively) low-growing plants, for example.

Pot: a plant that grows well in a pot.

Planter: plants that are perfect for use in planters.

Hedge: plants that grow particularly tall and branch nicely through pruning. This makes them ideal for use as a natural screen (hedge). We offer hedge plants for both low and tall hedges.

Pergola: plants that are ideal for planting and growing against a pergola.

Fence: plants that can be grown against a fence or placed in front of a fence.

Wall: plants that can be grown against a wall or placed in front of a wall.

Trellis: plants that can be grown in a trellis to create more greenery and privacy in the garden.

Slope: plants that are ideal for planting on a slope.

Buy ilex maximowicziana 'Kanehirae'

The Ilex maximowicziana 'Kanehirae', commonly known as Maximowicz's holly, is a robust and versatile plant that brings year-round verdancy to any landscape. This variety of holly is celebrated for its dense foliage and classic aesthetic, making it an ideal choice for both block hedges and traditional hedges. Native to the regions of China and Japan, Ilex maximowicziana 'Kanehirae' is a cultivar that stands out for its resilience and ornamental value.

Key Features

The Ilex family is known for its evergreen nature and hardy characteristics, and 'Kanehirae' is no exception. Among its many features, some of the most notable include:

  • A moderate growth rate of 15-30 centimeters per year, leading to a thick, moderately obscuring hedge in a relatively short time frame.
  • Exceptional winter hardiness, enduring temperatures as low as -23.3°C (USDA zone 6), ensuring that landscapes remain vibrant even in the coldest months.
  • The foliage maintains its lush green hue across all seasons, contributing to the plant's evergreen status.
  • In the spring, delicate white flowers bloom, adding a touch of elegance, which later give way to black fruit in the summer.
  • Though it flourishes in well-drained soil of any type, 'Kanehirae' is adaptable to a range of light conditions from full sun to partial shade and even full shade.

Tips

  • When planning to incorporate Ilex maximowicziana 'Kanehirae' into your garden, remember that while it is low maintenance, an annual pruning will encourage denser growth and maintain the desired form.
  • For propagation, semi-ripe cuttings taken in the summer or hardwood cuttings in the autumn to winter are both effective methods allowing gardeners to cultivate new plants with ease.
  • Although 'Kanehirae' is drought resistant to a degree, it performs best with consistent moisture, especially in well-drained soils.
  • When planting, space the root balls adequately to ensure each plant has enough room to establish its root system, which will contribute to a healthier, fuller hedge.
  • To maximize the visual impact and health of the plant, ensure it is not situated in overly swampy terrain and that it receives a balance of light throughout the day.

Ideal placement of a Ilex maximow. 'Kanehirae'

Ilex maximowicziana 'Kanehirae' thrives in a variety of light conditions, from full sun to partial shade and even full shade, though the fullest growth is achieved in brighter locations. Adaptable to all soil types, it is essential that the soil is well-drained to prevent root rot. This plant is quite resilient to the cold, tolerating temperatures down to USDA zone 6. To optimize growth and health, place it in an area that avoids extreme drought conditions, as consistent moisture is key to its success.

Planting a Ilex maximow. 'Kanehirae'

For successful establishment, Ilex maximowicziana 'Kanehirae' should be planted during the dormant season, avoiding times of frost. Select a location that offers full sun to partial shade and ensure the soil is well-draining to accommodate this versatile species. Begin by digging a hole that is twice the width of the root ball and of similar depth. Gently place the root ball in the hole, backfill with native soil mixed with compost, and water thoroughly. Consistent moisture is crucial during the first growing season to promote a robust root system, though care should be taken not to overwater.

Pruning a Ilex maximow. 'Kanehirae'

Ilex maximowicziana 'Kanehirae' is low-maintenance when it comes to pruning, often thriving without being frequently shaped. Nevertheless, a gentle trim may be conducted once per year to maintain its desired form and height, particularly if grown as a hedge. The ideal time to prune is in late winter or early spring, before the onset of new growth. This species tolerates pruning well, allowing for the creation of a dense, visually moderately obscuring barrier or a neatly manicured block hedge.

Watering a Ilex maximow. 'Kanehirae'

The Ilex maximowicziana 'Kanehirae' is not drought-resistant and thus requires consistent moisture to thrive, particularly when the plant is establishing its root system. During the initial growing phase, it is crucial to ensure that the root ball is kept adequately hydrated. Once established, the species will benefit from regular watering during dry spells, ensuring that the soil does not completely dry out. It is advised to check the soil moisture level frequently, and water deeply to encourage a robust root network. Overhead watering should be avoided to maintain the pristine condition of the foliage.

Fertilising a Ilex maximow. 'Kanehirae'

To ensure optimal growth and health for > Ilex 'Kanehirae', it is essential to fertilize the plant adequately. A balanced, slow-release fertilizer should be applied in early spring to support the development of lush green foliage and robust growth. Given its moderate growth rate, a single application at the onset of the growing season will suffice to satisfy the plant's nutritional needs.

Choose a fertilizer that includes a mix of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which will cater to the overall well-being of the hedge, from root strength to leaf development. While the species is adaptable to various soil types, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter will enhance nutrient uptake. Avoid over-fertilization to maintain the natural growth habit and form of this evergreen hedge.

The characteristics of a Ilex maximow. 'Kanehirae'

With its distinctive glossy leaves and robust structure, Ilex maximowicziana 'Kanehirae' serves as an excellent choice for creating dense, evergreen hedges. An often overlooked but beneficial aspect is its adaptability to various soil types, provided they are well-drained. This variety thrives in both full sun and partial shade, offering flexibility in garden design. Furthermore, the root ball of this plant ensures a more mature specimen, allowing for an immediate impact upon planting in your landscape.

The ideal variety for you Buy ilex maximowicziana 'Kanehirae'

The Ilex maximowicziana 'Kanehirae' offers a unique aesthetic appeal with its glossy leaves and robust growth. Perfect for creating structured landscapes or elegant hedges, this plant is a splendid choice for gardeners seeking an ornamental yet resilient species. It's a true gem for any garden collection.
