Homefire Holly
Lustrous dark green leaves are the backdrop for a plentiful display of bright red berries - the display lasts from late fall through winter. These medium-sized pyramids of foliage and berries are great for screening purposes in full sun or shady sites. They require less pruning than other large hollies for those who are looking to reduce maintenance costs! Parentage is Ilex cornuta 'Burford' x I. latifolia; bred by Tom Dodd, Sr.
