Ilex Straight and Narrow™
Ilex Straight and Narrow™ (Holly) is a tidy, columnar evergreen shrub prized for its exceedingly narrow upright habit and small, shiny dark green leaves that maintain a neat, compact form as the plant matures. As a male variety, Ilex Straight and Narrow™ does not produce fruit but is an excellent pollinator for nearby female hollies, ensuring abundant berry production in dioecious plantings. Ideal for narrow spaces, formal hedges, or vertical accents, Ilex Straight and Narrow™thrives in moist, slightly acidic, well-drained soils and adapts well to sun or partial shade. Gardeners value Ilex Straight and Narrow™ for its slender, upright form, low-maintenance growth, and dependable role in supporting ornamental female hollies for seasonal fruit displays. Its tidy structure and minimal spread make it a versatile choice for both traditional and modern landscapes.
