Rosalind Sarver Topel holly

Aquifoliaceae (holly family)

hybrid: selection of Ilex cassine × I. opaca

Comments:
A small tree or large, multi-stemmed shrub to 15-20' tall. A true broadleaf evergreen, leaves on this hybrid resemble those of American holly except for being glossier, finer textured, and not as spiny. Flowers occur in mid-May as tiny, white clusters. Fruits ripen in late summer as vivid red berrylike drupes, persisting into mid-winter. Tolerant of both drought and soil alkalinity. Marginally hardy in central Ohio and branch dieback is probable in severe winters.
