    Hi Folks,

    Any anyone recommend non coniferous (broadleaf) evergreens that do well in Ireland? Only one I'm aware off is Holm Oak and Hollys of course.

    Thanks

    Out of curiosity, why do you consider Holly a broadleaf?

    OK now I understand where you're coming from. Holly is an excellent tree but unfortunately a very slow grower. Some other evergreens which you might consider include:

    - Pittosporum
    - Cotoneaster (various varieties)
    - Mahonia (remove lower branches to achieve tree like form)
    - Magnolia Grandiflora
    - Olea Europa (Olive Tree)

    There are more but these are the ones that we use and are generally readily available.

    Thanks
