A classic for a reason - yaupon holly can function as a hedge or small tree, is evergreen, and provides red berries for winter color. Birds love it! It also does well when planted in large pots.
The “Pride of Houston” cultivar is especially well-suited to our soil and climate and provides the same wildlife benefits as the wild species.
