Design with this plant

Overview

The San Jose Holly (Ilex x aquipernyi 'San Jose') is an evergreen shrub favored for its dense, pyramidal form, reaching 10-15 feet tall with a 7-10 feet spread. Glossy, dark green leaves with few spines characterize this hybrid, which produces small, inconspicuous flowers followed by bright red berries in winter. Hardy in USDA zones 6-9, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to pruning, making it ideal for hedges and screening.
