Planted 5 1/2 yrs ago. A nice tree form holly. Not profilic in berries but we may not have the right pollinator. Has grown well in a remote location with very little care through many years of drought.

I love the asymmetrical habit of this tree and the birds feast on the berries over the winter. It will send out suckers and I have dug them up and transplanted w/ limited success. They provide some shade during the middle of the day for my canna's (even they seem to appreciate a little shade in the heat of summer here in Central Florida)
Wish this tree would come true from seed. Oh well, more for the birds!
