Fantastic plant--like a holly with fragrance. The mature ones at a local college perfume the whole area with their autumn fragrance--a lovely wafting scent. They're healthy and handsome, with a tidy growth habit, and make wonderful screens and backgrounds. They can also be nicely trimmed to fit if they start becoming too large for the space they're in. Highly recommended.
