A slim evergreen sentinel with glossy, spiny leaves and red berries that keep the winter garden looking alive

FEATURES: 

• Naturally narrow, upright conical form that stays tidy and architectural in tight spaces
• Glossy, spiny, dark green foliage delivers year-round structure and a classic holly look
• Female selection that can set showy red berries in fall and hold them into winter when a compatible male pollinator is nearby
• Strong, herringbone branching habit creates a full, layered silhouette instead of a sparse “string bean” look
• Evergreen for winter color, with seasonal interest peaking as berries ripen red in fall and persist into colder months
• Hand Selected; Fresh from the Grower
• Ships on our trucks because of the size of the tree – does not fit in a box

Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip:

Plant Dragon Slayer where it can be the exclamation point, then calm the base with a generous mulch ring and a low, dark-green “collar” like boxwood or inkberry, and finish with something feathery nearby such as ornamental grasses or ferns so the holly’s strong lines look even sharper; if you want berries, tuck a compatible male holly within pollinating distance and keep the area open enough for good airflow so the foliage stays clean and glossy.
