| Notes: Native to the Eastern United States, the Yaupon Holly is one of the most popular hollies used in the landscape. Its adaptability to a wide variety of soil and urban conditions, resistance to disease and insects and ornamentally showy fruit all make the Yaupon Holly an outstanding selection. Great genetic variability exists in the species, so care must be taken in cultivar selection. |
