(Ilex x attenuata ‘Savannah’)
A large shrub or small tree, this beautiful dark green holly is a staple of the landscape here. Can be grown full to the ground for a dense screen, or limbed up five or six feet with a single trunk to allow plantings underneath. Makes a great privacy screen around pools since it does not drop a lot of debris. The most reliable holly we’ve grown here if the soil is not too alkaline. If the leaves yellow, it may need an iron supplement and soil acidifier.
