These are all seedling selections from the Mary Nell variety.
Hollies are some of the very best shrubs or small trees for the Mississippi landscapes.
They come through as troopers in the coldest of winters. Then when azaleas wilt in the hottest summers, hollies stand firm. I continue to be partial to Fosters, Nellie R. Stevens and Mary Nell, and yaupon hollies because they have stood the test of time. But the Red Holly hybrid group has really caught my attention. Red Hollies have about the same cultural requirement as the Nellie R. Stevens and are hardy throughout our state.
