#A1948
Ilex aquifolium

English Holly
This is the holly that has been immortalized in countless silk and plastic Christmas reproductions. Evergreen emerald green leaves with creamy borders are serrated and arranged alternately. Can grow into a 50ft. tree, but this takes a long time as it grows relatively slowly. Prefers well drained soils, though it can tolerate a range of pH levels in full sun or partial shade. Red berries appear on female plants in the late fall and persist into winter. Hardy to -10F (-23.3C); height: 50ft.
