One of the very best of all Hollies!
This self pollinating Holly is in our opinion one of the best green leaved bush Hollies on the market.
It won the Award of Garden Merit in 2002 and for those of you who like making up Christmas wreaths this is the clone for you!
This vigorous cultivar has very dark, shiny, almost spineless leaves and a good show of autumn berries.
It remains a small tree with a good pyramidal form.
Excellent for gardens, it prefers well draining soils and is tolerant of shade.
Mature height: 5-10m
