Description

The listing, Yaupon holly (Ilex vomitoria) Bush has ended.

You will receive 10 seed balls from 10 year old bushes. As you can see by my pictures they can be groomed into different shapes.
Yaupon holly (Ilex vomitoria) is native to the Southeastern states. This holly features short leaves, about ½-inch long, bright-red berries, dark evergreen leaves and grey bark with white patches. The Youpon holly contains caffeine and it was a popular drink among Native Americans in the area. In fact, it is named "Ilex vomitoria" because people would drink it until full and vomit it up--the plant does not actually cause vomiting.
The Yaupon Holly is native to Texas and is adapted to a variety of soil types with its superior level of shade and drought tolerance. The Yaupon Holly can be trimmed into a dense hedge or the Yaupon Holly can be pruned into a small tree revealing its uniquely contorted trunks. The Yaupon Holly has a densely rounded canopy . Yaupon Holly leaves are oval shaped, about ½ inch long and have serrated edges. The Yaupon Holly produces inconspicuous white flowers in the spring. The flowers allow the Yaupon Holly to pollinate and produce an abundant amount of vivid red berries that are very attractive. The bark on a Yaupon Holly is smooth with a dark gray color. These grow well in containers also.

Note: I may offer some bulbs of the Sego Palm, shown in the 1st picture, on another auction. I expect your shipping address in 3 days or I will relist and keep your credits. Please feel free to ask questions.Thanks for looking!

Would these grow in the northern states?

I'm not sure, I think the only problem would be freezing temps below 20*. I will check and get back with you. You could always put it into a container, I have done that with this bush when I lived in Kansas, and then moved them indoors when it got to 30* I will do some reasearch and let you know today.

Okay, I think they would as long as you cover them in the harsher parts of winter. Preparing for winter. Around the base of the Holly spread a nice thick blanket of straw, and then cover the 'ever-green' foliage with blanket/cover. I think as long as it was covered , like I said above it would work. There are other varieties of this Holly that thrive very well up North. :o)
