What are some types of holly shrubs appropriate for landscaping?

Holly shrubs that are good for landscaping are the Japanese holly and the winterberry holly. The Japanese holly grows in many shapes and sizes. Sky Pencil is a columnar shrub, while Compacta is shorter and round.

Japanese hollies grow best in full-to-partial sun and prefer well-drained and acidic soil. They need a bit of maintenance to protect them from diseases and pests.

The winterberry features an abundance of brilliant red berries, which linger after the leaves have fallen. It grows from between 6 to 9 feet tall and has a spread nearly as wide. Winterberry hollies grow slowly. There are male and female plants, and the female requires pollenization to bear fruit.
