Ilex vomitoria / YAUPON HOLLY (MALE)
Ilex vomitoria, commonly known as Yaupon Holly (Male), is an evergreen shrub valued for its dense, dark green foliage and its important role in pollination for female Yaupon Holly plants, which produce bright red berries after fertilization. This male cultivar does not bear berries but plays a vital role in producing the pollen necessary for the female plants to produce their striking fruit. Yaupon Holly features small, oval leaves that create a neat, rounded form, making it an excellent choice for hedges, screens, or as a foundation plant. It thrives in a wide range of soil types, including both well-drained and slightly moist soils, and is adaptable to both full sun and partial shade. Known for its resilience to drought, salt, and pest issues, Ilex vomitoria (Male) is a low-maintenance, hardy shrub that is perfect for coastal gardens or landscapes requiring a tough, pollinator-friendly plant.
