Myrtle-leaf Holly

Not frequently cultivated, but worthy of consideration in appropriate sites for its long-lasting colorful fruits.  Fruits can be red or yellow.



Good winter interest in a wetland setting. Would make a good wet-site hedge

Not salt tolerant of inundation by salty or brackish water.



Low/no tolerance of salty wind or direct salt spray

It's dioecious; so make sure you have at least one male plant in the vicinity to produce berries on the females.

Fruits are eaten by birds.

Wet-moist sites. Typically found in shallow wetland areas.

• Showy fruits
