Dahoon Holly (Ilex cassine) is a versatile and resilient tree that reaches heights of 20 to 30 feet with a spread of 10 to 15 feet. Adorned with white flowers and vibrant red fruits, it attracts birds and small animals, adding life to any landscape. This adaptable tree thrives in full sun to full shade and prefers wet soils, including loam, sand, or organic muck, with an acidic to circum-neutral pH.
Renowned for its hurricane wind resistance, Dahoon Holly is an excellent choice for storm-prone regions. Its blooms are also a favorite for bees, making it a valuable addition to pollinator-friendly gardens.
