Ilex pedunculosa, commonly known as Longstalk Holly, is a deciduous shrub or small tree known for its glossy, dark green leaves and long-stalked red berries. It is a dioecious species, meaning male and female flowers are on separate plants, and this particular entry refers to the male plant, which does not produce berries but is essential for pollination.
Suggested Uses
This plant is ideal for woodland gardens, mixed shrub borders, or as a specimen plant. Its attractive foliage and form make it a great choice for naturalistic landscapes.
