Ilex crenata Emerald
Japanese holly that will tolerate some shade. This particular variety has been pruned to create a cone shape form. Mature size is relative to how large you want it to be. It can maintain a height of 6-8 feet and a spread of 2-3 feet, when pruning to retain the cone shape.
Responds well to trimming, so makes an excellent hedge.
