Ilex crenata 'Chesapeake' Japanese Holly
Chesapeake Japanese Holly is a dense multi-stemmed evergreen shrub with a distinctive and refined pyramidal form. Valued for its lustrous black berries and attractive evergreen foliage during the winter; its conical, compact growth habit makes it perfect for smaller landscapes; can be sheared for a formal appearance.
This is a relatively low maintenance shrub, and is best pruned in late winter once the threat of extreme cold has passed.
Chesapeake Japanese Holly will grow to be about 8 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 6 feet. This shrub does best in full sun to partial shade.
