This outstanding selection by holly guru Elwin Orton displays a beautiful pyramidal shape with lush dark green foliage and a heavy berry set year after year. It has proven durable and untarnished in 6A winters for more than a decade. Plants reach 7-8' tall and 4' wide and prefer a full or half day sun situation. Excellent as a foundation plant but we enjoy it in our mixed border where it provides us with winter cut material and food for hungry birds. Flowers are attractive to bees, too! 1 gallon pots.
