Broad Leafed Evergreens - Hollies
Hollies (Ilex) belong to the family Aquifoliaceae. There are over 350 species native to North America, Europe, Africa, Australia, the Orient and Brazil. They range in size from dwarf shrubs to huge trees. Both evergreen and deciduous ones are readily available from local nurseries and by mail order. The evergreen varieties are the most useful as ‘bones’ for the garden. Many will also provide the added bonus of berries, which can be red or yellow.
