It is a hybrid between Ilex aquifolium and Ilex cornuta and is exceptional for its vigour and readiness to make a small single stemmed tree.

Ideal for spot screening and it tolerates most free draining soils. Female.
Mature heights and crown spread can vary depending on environmental conditions
Mature height: 3-7m
Mature spread: 3-6m
