| Botanical Name | Ilex cornuta 'Burfordii Nana' |
| Description | A highly versatile evergreen for Southeast Texas. While it is adaptable to many soil types, it performs best in well-drained locations. In areas with heavy Houston clay, planting in a slightly raised mound is recommended to prevent "wet feet." It is exceptionally heat and humidity tolerant once established. |
| Exposure | Full sun to partial shade |
| Height x Width | 6-8 ft. Tall x 6-8 ft. Wide |
| Water | Moderate; drought tolerant once established but appreciates regular watering during Houston's peak summer. |
| Zones | 7 - 9 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring before new growth begins. |
| Pruning | Minimal required; can be sheared into a formal hedge or left to maintain its natural rounded shape. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
