Southern Planters 1 -Gallon White Feature Dahoon Holly Tree In pot (with soil)

The Dahoon Holly is a small, low-maintenance, broadleaf, evergreen tree with a dense, pyramidal growth pattern. It can reach 30 feet in height and spreads of around 15 feet. These hollies grow light green ovate leaves that darken with age and produce small white flowers followed by red berries in the fall and winter months. The berries of dahoon holly, like many other holly species, contain saponins that are mildly toxic to humans, causing digestive upset if the berries are consumed. The toxicity to dogs, cats, and horses is similarly mild. It gladly accepts shaping through hard pruning and has even been used in bonsai culture. Native to the southeastern United States, they enjoy full sun and consistently moist soil. The rounded crown of the Dahoon is heavily branched at maturity which makes these trees a fine choice for borders, hedges, or specimens for many years to enjoy!
