| Botanical Name | Ilex vomitoria 'Pride of Houston' |
| Description | The Pride of Houston Yaupon Holly Tree is a local legend, specifically selected for its superior berry production and tidy growth habit. This 15-gallon (15G) native tree is exceptionally tough, thriving in Houston’s most difficult conditions including poorly drained heavy clay, intense summer heat, and high humidity. As an evergreen, it provides year-round privacy and structure, while its translucent red berries offer a spectacular winter display that attracts local songbirds. |
| Exposure | Full Sun to Partial Shade |
| Height x Width | 15-20' Height x 10-15' Width |
| Water | Moderate; highly adaptable and drought tolerant once established, but can also handle wet feet during rainy seasons. |
| Zones | 7 - 9 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring. |
| Pruning | Highly tolerant of pruning; can be limbed up into a tree form, sheared into a hedge, or left to grow naturally. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
