Climbs by twining petioles. Grow on a trellis or fence.

This is a Florida endemic associated with dunes and scrub, both ancient and modern. Small specimen or border plant.

Many cultivars have been developed or found in the wild ranging from weeping forms to little round balls ('Shillings'). To get fruits, both a male and a female are required. Although there are issues with provenance, 'Shillings' is a male and can provide an inconspicuous source of pollen for larger females. The issue (with no scientifically vetted answer) is whether pollen from a natural dwarf could have any affect on wild populations of yaupon holly (the author suspects 'no' as being dwarf is unlikely to provide any selective advantage in the wild. Specimen tree.

This is a Florida endemic. Screen plant esp. for sunny, dry sites. Specimen plant where its shiny foliage will be appreciated.
