[Compact Inkberry]

This hardy cultivar is compact and dense with an oval to rounded habit, but it tends to lose some of its lower branches with age.

Winter desiccation injury to leaves occurs in exposed sites, with severe yellowing when temperatures drop below -20 degrees F. Avoid high pH soils.

[Green Magic Inkberry]

'Green Magin' is a dense, compact hardy cutlivar that tends to hold on to its lower branches better than many other variants of Ilex glabra. This species, like other hollies, is dioecious, so plant females for fruit and an occasional male for pollination. Withstands severe pruning. Winter desiccation injury to leaves occurs in exposed sites, with severe yellowing when temperatures drop below -20 degrees F. Avoid high pH soils.
