| Lore | Unlike most hollies, Oak Leaf™ Holly contains both male and female flower parts in each flower. Therefore, each plant is self-fruitful without need for a male plant to provide pollen. The small, greenish-white flower clusters produce pea-sized berries that are orange-red and persist through most of the winter. |
| Average Size at Maturity | Fast growing; reaches 14 ft. tall, 8 ft. wide. |
| Bloom Time | Inconspicuous; prized for foliage and ornamental berries. |
| Design Ideas | This upright growing holly has leaves that are bronze to burgundy as they emerge in spring and retain this coloration for a couple of weeks in early spring. |
