This durable tree will adapt to any growing conditions and is ideal for dry, small planting sites. Ideal as a screen of rot provide canopy over a sidewalk. Male and female plants needed to produce berries. Not as susceptible to diseases as are other hollies, and is available in cultivated varieties. |
