Size

The Mary Nell Holly is a versatile plant that can be used as a hedge, foundation planting, or as a specimen plant in the landscape. It has a dense, compact growth habit and can reach a height of around 8 to 10 feet (2.4 to 3 meters) with a similar spread.

One of the standout features of the Mary Nell Holly is its abundant production of bright red berries, which appear in the fall and persist throughout the winter. These berries provide a beautiful contrast against the dark green foliage and are a favorite food source for birds.

In terms of care, the Mary Nell Holly prefers well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. It is a relatively low-maintenance plant, but regular pruning can help maintain its shape and promote healthy growth
