The Emily Bruner Holly is a pyramidal evergreen bush of high quality, growing to about 20 feet tall and 8 feet wide. It has lustrous emerald-green leaves which are unusually large, with a margin of many spines. It forms a dense bush that is perfect for a lawn specimen, screening or at the back of shrub beds. In October it ripens a massive crop of burgundy-red berries that weigh down the branches with their abundance. A hybrid tree bred for hot and dry conditions.

Emily Bruner Holly grows in zone 7, 8 and 9, in full sun, partial shade or the light shade of deciduous trees. It grows in almost any well-drained soil, and established trees tolerate drought very well. Fertilize each spring for good foliage color and trim as needed for the neatest shape. Pests, diseases and deer leave it alone, and this tough shrub needs very little attention to thrive in your garden.
