Nellie R. Stevens Osmanthus clay soilsA true specimen holly. The Nellie R. Stevens can be pruned into a formal specimen or left to grow on its own as it maintains its natural upright pyramidal habit. It will also pollinate with a Chinese Holly blooming at the same time in the spring from anywhere in the same area. Nice dark green lustrous leaves are accented by red fruit in winter. Not only are the berries attractive against the dark green leaves they provide food and shelter for birds.
