Vigorous and well-branched, Ilex x meserveae Castle Wall® (Blue Holly) is a compact, upright, evergreen shrub of pyramidal habit with excellent year-round interest, thanks to its shiny foliage of small, oval, serrated leaves, that remains dark green throughout the winter. Castle Wall® is a male plant that does not get fruit but will serve to pollinate female varieties like Castle Spire® to produce attractive red berries. Ideal for hedges, foundation plantings, or even as a dramatic specimen, this is an outstanding plant for the winter landscape.
