Chesnnut Leaf Holly:   A vigorous, large evergreen shrub or small tree growing up to around 12 metres, with a dense, pyramidal crown, with smooth bark and bright green twigs.   Glossy dark green leaves with a spiked margin, which are slightly sharp make this an excellent screening tree.   Clusters of tiny white flowers appear in spring, and are followed by large red berries in autumn.   It is resistant to hot, dry conditions and grows well in most types of well drained acid, alkaline or neutral soils.   Can be shaped and clipped into hedges or topiary shapes.   Plant in full sun.   Hardiness rating H5.
