A relative of this shrub is increasingly prevalent in Sweden.
It is a dense, rounded wintergreen shrub originating from China. The first part of the name – Ilex – comes from the similarity to the evergreen oak (Quercus ilex) and the epithet cornuta means “horn” or “horn-shaped,” and refers to the points of the leaves.
The holly family is dioecious, which means they have separate male and female blossoms (and thus also berries) on different plants.
This kind of holly is not typically found in Sweden; however, we are seeing its relative, the Japanese holly, Ilex crenata, more and more often in Swedish gardens. It resembles boxwood and is an excellent replacement in the event of boxwood rust.
