Quick Overview:

‘Burfordii’, commonly called Burford holly, grows to 15′ tall. It has revolute leaves with only one apical spine. It is noted for heavy fruit set. Ilex cornuta ‘Dwarf Burford’ (aka ‘Burfordii Nana’) is very similar to ‘Burfordii’, except it grows much shorter (to only 6-8′ tall), has smaller leaves (to 2" long) and sports darker foliage color. Dull white flowers appear in May. Flowers are fragrant but generally inconspicuous. Berry-like red drupes (1/3? long) ripen in fall and persist into winter. Birds are attracted to the fruit.

Description

Best in locations protected from cold winter winds. Part afternoon shade is best in hot summer climates. Avoid poorly drained soils. This holly is a good selection for the deep South because it has tolerance for heat and periods of drought. Prune in winter if needed. Plants of this species are dioecious (separate male and female plants). Female ‘Dwarf Burford’ plants are parthenocarpic (able to produce fruit without pollination).
