The Hightower Yaupon Holly, also known as Ilex vomitoria 'Hightower', is a cultivar of the native Yaupon Holly (Ilex vomitoria). It is a versatile evergreen shrub that is commonly used in landscaping.

The Hightower Yaupon Holly is known for its dense, compact growth habit and its ability to tolerate a wide range of growing conditions. It typically grows to a height of 10 to 15 feet (3 to 4.5 meters) with a similar spread, making it suitable for hedges, screens, or as a standalone specimen plant.

This cultivar has small, dark green leaves that are oval-shaped and have a glossy appearance. It produces small white flowers in the spring, which are followed by small red berries that persist throughout the winter. The berries are a valuable food source for birds.
