Ilex vomitoria ‘Pendula’

Weeping Yaupon Holly is a graceful cultivar of the native yaupon holly that grows 15-25 feet tall with distinctive drooping, pendulous branches that create an elegant weeping form. This evergreen specimen features the same small, leathery dark green leaves as the species and produces inconspicuous flowers followed by bright red berries on female plants that attract birds. The cascading branches give it a unique architectural quality, making it an excellent focal point or specimen tree for large landscapes. Like its parent species, it's extremely drought and salt-tolerant, adaptable to various soil conditions, and requires minimal maintenance once established.
