  • Publication number: 20180235129
    Abstract: ‘CR195-115’ is a new and distinct cultivar of interspecific-hybrid evergreen holly distinguished by its small spineless leaves and narrowly conical single-trunk tree form, which is highly dissimilar to other forms of Ilex. Its parentage includes four species (Ilex crenata, I. aquifolium, I. pernyi, and I. rugosa), further distinguishing it from other cultivars. Plants are winter-hardy and exhibit a moderate rate of growth, develop an upright, densely-branched narrow conical form of compact size, and produce an abundance of well-displayed shiny black fruit.
