Shrubs/ Fosteri Holly

Common name: Fosters Holly 
Scientific name: Ilex x attenuata
Pronunciation: EYE-lecks x uh-ten-yoo-AY-tuh
Characteristics: Height: 15 to 25 feet
                            Spread: 8 to 12 feet
                            Light requirement: full sun, partial sun or partial shade
                            Flower color: white/cream/gray
                            Leaf type and persistence: evergreen
                            Landscape use: With its dense, compact, upright growth and neat habit, Foster's Holly is ideal for use as a tightly clipped screen or hedge, or as a specimen, foundation, or container planting. Can also be planted in a small soil space or in a tall, narrow overhead space. Would probably make a suitable street tree but has not been extensively tried.
