Ilex 'Conaf'(OAK LEAF)
Common Name: Hybrid Holly
Ilex ‘Conaf’ (Oak Leaf®) is a dense evergreen holly valued for its distinctive deeply lobed foliage that resembles oak leaves, creating a bold texture unlike most hollies. New growth often emerges with bronze to reddish tones before maturing to glossy dark green, and female plants produce bright red berries when pollinated. Its naturally upright pyramidal habit gives strong year-round structure. Type: Evergreen shrub Mature Size: Width: 6–8 ft · Height: 10–14 ft USDA Zones: 6a–9b Form: Upright, pyramidal Light: Full sun to part shade Soil: Moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil Water: Medium; prefers regular moisture during establishment Wildlife: Berries attract birds Features & Landscape Uses: Excellent for screening, hedges, foundation plantings, and specimen use where bold evergreen texture is desired. Its unusual leaf shape makes it highly distinctive in mixed evergreen plantings. Care: Plant in well-drained acidic soil and avoid poorly drained sites. Prune in late winter or early spring if shaping is needed. Female plants require a male holly nearby for best berry production.
