plant sale text: The Myrtle-leaf holly, when mature, typically has an attractive, upright, cone-like shape. There is a distinctive fine texture to its foliage. Females have abundant small red fruits that add color for several months and provide food for birds. In the wild, it can be seen growing on riverbanks and in cypress swamps. Myrtle-leaf holly has evergreen leaves and tolerates pruning well. These plants are all fruit bearing females. To increase fruit production, plant a male nearby.
