American Holly
Ilex opaca
AKA - American Holly, White Holly, Prickly Holly, Evergreen Holly, Christmas Holly, Yule Holly
I love American Holly, they are resilient and beautiful during the winter when most other trees are dormant. They are also extremely important for ecological support with bright red fruit lasting through the winter. No wonder they are the state tree of Delaware!
Batch - 2023 I.opaca 2301 - DE Indigenous Wild Ecotype 8.3.1
This batch was grown from seed sourced from wild populations within the 8.3.1 Ecoregion in Delaware. Good producers, these are genetically locally adapted and should be the first choice for habitat restoration when planting onto wild lands.
Batch - 2022 I.opaca 2101 - Straight Species - Captured
This batch was sourced from seed at the extreme southern edge of our shared Atlantic Coastal Ecoregion. Plants are southern adapted for higher heat summers and show vigorous growth even through heat waves and and drought. Excellent choice for a drier sunny location in a home landscape.
