Shima-inu-tsuge Holly
Upright evergreen shrub similar to Japanese Holly (I. crenata) and sometimes considered a variety of it found on Okinawa. The small evergreen leaves have marginal teeth but no spines. A little known shrub with open graceful habit and black fruit on female plants. Probably equally adaptable as the common Japanese Holly but probably less cold hardy. We had apparently mistakenly labeled our plants as "female" and are indebted to a customer for observing the flowers and advising us that they were male.
