Emily Brunner Holly 15 Gallon Container

Emily Brunner Holly – 15 Gallon Container

The Emily Brunner Holly (Ilex × 'Emily Brunner') is a vigorous, upright evergreen holly prized for its dense foliage, classic pyramidal form, and heavy production of bright red berries in fall and winter. Known for its durability and year-round interest, this holly is an excellent choice for privacy screens, windbreaks, foundation plantings, or as a formal specimen.

In a 15-gallon container, this Emily Brunner is well-rooted and landscape-ready, providing immediate impact and fast establishment. Its dark green, spiny leaves create a lush, textured backdrop, while the vibrant red berries offer seasonal color and wildlife value.

This female holly variety requires a male pollinator nearby (such as a Burford or Nellie R. Stevens Holly) for best berry production. It's drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and adaptable to a wide range of soil conditions, making it a reliable choice for Southern landscapes.
