Create a perfect privacy screen or specimen with the elegant Needlepoint Holly (Ilex cornuta 'Needlepoint'). This large, evergreen Chinese holly is celebrated for its distinctive, slightly twisted, and glossy, dark green leaves that feature a single spine at the tip. Unlike many hollies, its upright and dense growth habit provides excellent year-round coverage, making it a low-maintenance solution for hedges, screens, and foundation plantings. In late fall and winter, it offers a stunning display of bright red berries that attract birds and add a classic touch of seasonal charm. Exceptionally tough, Needlepoint Holly is highly tolerant of drought, heat, and urban pollution, making it a reliable and versatile addition to any landscape.
