Ilex hybrida 'Conaf'
Oak Leaf, an upright grower capable of reaching 20 feet in height with a spread of about 8 feet. When a young plant it has a columnar form; as it matures, it takes a pyramidal shape. Oak Leaf (TM) is one of the Red Holly series trademarked by Mitch Magee Evergreen Nursery,Poplarville, Miss.
It has evergreen, emerald-green leaves that emerge reddish-purple in the spring (hence, the red holly reference). A hermaphrodite, containing functionally male and female parts in each flower, it will be self-fruitful without need of a male pollinator.
