Ilex x 'Nellie R. Stevens'
This holly is actually a hybrid between Ilex cornuta and Ilex aquifolium. It has a broad, pyramidal growth habit with lustrous, dark green leaves with 2 or 3 teeth on each side. One of the faster growing hollies, as well as one of the heaviest fruiters. Very commonly used in many landscapes due to its prolific berry production, and hardiness. Makes an excellent, screen, border, or can even be used in taller hedge situations too. Or simply plant singly for use as a wonderfully colorful specimen tree - especially during the winter months.
