Liberty grows to a height of 14 feet with a spread of 8 feet. It forms a nice pyramidal Christmas tree shape. Patriot, also recently named, is smaller, reaching 12 feet high and 6 feet wide. This allows it to match up nicely with Little Red or Festive, two other hollies in the group. Patriot may be the most prolific berry producer of the group, yet it maintains its dark green color.
Many hollies tend to turn yellow under the stress of heavy berry production.
All of the Red Holly Hybrids are seedlings of Mary Nell holly and have cultural requirements similar to Nellie R. Stevens. It is hard to pick out a favorite from these new varieties, especially for a holly lover like myself. I had ever seen. It reaches a height of 12 feet with a spread of 8 feet. It also forms a nice pyramidal shape with tight densely compact leaves.
