Yaupon

Ilex vomitoria


Yaupon is one of the most versatile and ecologically valuable native plants available for Texas landscapes, an adaptable evergreen holly that thrives in virtually any soil and moisture condition, from dry, rocky uplands to moist bottomlands. Its small, glossy leaves maintain a tidy, refined appearance year-round, while its abundant bright red berries, ripening in fall and persisting well into winter, provide a spectacular seasonal display and a critical food resource for mockingbirds, cedar waxwings, and other birds. Equally suited to formal hedges, natural screens, or wildlife plantings, it is a true landscape workhorse.
