Nellie Stevens Holly - Ilex X 'Nellie R. Stevens'
The Nellie Stevens Holly (Ilex X 'Nellie R. Stevens') is a pyramidal broadleaf evergreen tree for landscapes and gardens. This is probably the most planted pyramidal Holly. The leaves are glossy and not as prickly as others and the berry show is prolific. This plant is very prone to scale. It will typically peak in May, but as new growth comes on it seems to hide it until the following spring. This plant is a hybrid cross of Ilex aquifolium and Ilex cornuta.
