This architectural shrub or small tree features dense, lustrous dark green foliage that is virtually spineless, making it ideal for planting near pathways or borders. In late Spring, small greenish-white flowers attract pollinators, developing into bright, long-lasting red berries on female specimens that persist through Autumn and Winter to provide vital winter colour and wildlife interest. Exceptionally resilient and wind-tolerant, it thrives in full sun to partial shade across a wide range of well-drained soils, offering a soft-textured, low-maintenance alternative to traditional prickly holly hedges and specimens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSite: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTolerates exposure including coastal exposure\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil: \u003c\/b\u003eMoist, well-drained, fertile soil; adaptable to neutral, acidic, or slightly alkaline ground.
