The Dawes Arboretum

Common name: Georgana American holly

Family: Aquifoliaceae (holly family)

Distribution: Species native to e. United States

Hardiness: USDA Zone 5

Comments: A female, broadleaf, conical evergreen tree growing about 15-20' tall by 10-12' wide with glossy, medium green spiny leaves. In the presence of a suitable male pollinator it produces abundant, large bright red berries. This is a fairly young plant in collections but in evaluations has shown itself to be a promising selection.
