Holm Oak (Quercus ilex) is a exotic tree included in the City of Sydney tree species list. Council data indicates approximately 15 m high and 15 m spread, with a rounded canopy form. Its recorded local performance is somewhat reliable. Final selection should still account for available soil volume, services, exposure and the mature canopy required on the site.
