A hardy holly that is almost spineless. The plant is self-fertlile and will reliably carry masses of bright red berries (female), amongst the glossy, dark green leaves.

Ilex Golden van tol has lovely creamy-gold margined green slightly prickly foliage with red berries in Winter. They are very low maintenance as they are slow growing. This holly makes a handsome evergreen specimen tree for a small garden with fertile moist well-drained soil.
