Ilex 'Emily Bruner' ~ Emily Bruner Holly Size:4' HEIGHT also known as Acer rubrumEmily Bruner Holly is a large dense evergreen shrub with a broad pyramidal habit and spiny deep green leaves. The clusters of inconspicuous flowers in spring need a male pollinator to give way to the heavy clusters of large bright red fruits in fall that lasts through winter. Best planted in moist, slightly acidic well drained soils. Emily Bruner requires more nitrogen than other hollies to maintain its deep green foliage. Type: Shrub Origins: I.
