| Botanical Name | Ilex x 'Conaf' P.P. #9487 |
| Description | The Oak Leaf™ Holly Tree is a premier evergreen selection for the Houston metro area. This 15-gallon (15G) specimen offers a tall, pyramidal habit and distinctive emerald-green leaves that resemble oak foliage. It is highly resistant to our intense summer heat and adapts beautifully to heavy clay soils. Emerging bronze-to-burgundy new growth and winter red berries provide year-round interest, making it an ideal choice for a stately specimen or a dense privacy screen. |
| Exposure | Full Sun to Partial Shade |
| Height x Width | 15-20' Height x 8-12' Width |
| Water | Moderate; prefers regular watering while establishing, but is quite drought-tolerant once mature. |
| Zones | 6 - 9 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release evergreen fertilizer in early spring and mid-summer to maintain deep green foliage. |
| Pruning | Naturally maintains its pyramidal shape, but can be pruned or sheared in winter to maintain size or form. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
