Burford Holly is a fast-growing dense evergreen shrub with dark green leaves with a single spine at the tip. The clusters of tiny white fragrant flowers in spring give way to heavy red fruits in fall which lasts through winter. Best planted in part sun and slightly acidic, well-drained soils. Hollies are dioecious and need both male and female plants to produce fruit.
