| Botanical Name | Ilex x attenuata 'Eagleston' |
| Description | The Eagleston Holly Tree is a premier architectural evergreen for the Houston metro area. This massive 100-gallon (100G) specimen provides immediate maturity and scale to your landscape. Known for its soft, spineless foliage and natural pyramidal habit, it is exceptionally well-suited to our heavy clay soils and intense Gulf Coast humidity. Its abundant crop of bright red winter berries makes it a showstopper during the cooler months while serving as a vital sanctuary for local birds. |
| Exposure | Full Sun to Partial Shade |
| Height x Width | 15-25' Height x 10-15' Width |
| Water | Moderate; due to its size, consistent deep watering is required during the first two years to establish the root ball in Houston clay. |
| Zones | 6 - 9 |
| Fertilization | Apply an acidic, slow-release evergreen fertilizer in early spring and again in late summer. |
| Pruning | Minimal; can be selectively hand-pruned in late winter to maintain its stately pyramidal form. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
