Hollies
Hollies are one of the largest and most versatile groups of shrubs available to the Chattanooga gardener.  They can be tall or short, evergreen or deciduous, berries or no berries, pointed leaf or round.  The diversity is huge, but we’ve narrowed down a sampling of the best evergreen types.  Nellie R. Stevens hollies are large pyramid shaped evergreens with shiny dark green leaves and lots of red berries in the fall.  At 20 feet tall and 10 feet wide, they make an attractive screen or accent plant.  Dwarf Burford hollies are medium sized evergreens that grow 4 to 6 feet tall and wide.  They are one of the best hollies for beautiful winter berries, and have glossy green leaves with one point at the tip.  The variegated English holly is a tall growing variety with a creamy margin on its dark green pointed leaves.  If planted with a pollinator like Gold Coast, it has large red berries and is perfect for Christmas decorations.  Japanese hollies have small round leaves like boxwood and no berries.  The column shaped Sky Pencil and pyramidal Steeds hollies are good for entry accents or containers, while the Compacta and Hoogendorn hollies are best for foundations or clipped hedges. Little Rascal holly is a new variety with a dense compact form and a rounded shape.  It has no berries, but its multi-pointed leaves are soft to the touch and turn purple in the winter.  At only 2 feet tall and 3 feet wide, it fits well in today’s smaller landscapes. Holly Dwarf Burford Holly English Variegated Holly Japanese Compacta Holly Little Rascal Holly Sky Pencil Holly
