• Form: 'Golden van Tol' has an upright growth habit with a conical crown.
• Location: It thrives best in sun or semi-shade.
• Bottom: Ilex aquifolium 'Golden van Tol' likes a well-drained, humus-rich, slightly acidic, moist and sandy soil.
• Hardy: This plant tolerates temperatures down to -25 °C and is therefore very hardy.
• Pruning: The plant tolerates topiary very well, making it suitable for hedges. Use gloves and protective clothing when pruning, as some parts of the plant are poisonous.

Particulars:

• Self-pollinating: This cultivar is self-pollinating, meaning no male plant is needed for berry production.
• Wildlife: The red berries are a valuable food source for birds in winter.
• Plaque resistance: The leaves, shoots and flowers can sometimes be affected by aphids, so regular inspection is recommended.
