A LITTLE LOCAL GROWING KNOW-HOW

Help your Dahoon Holly Tree feel at home.

Ilex cassine

01 · Sun requirements

Find its light

Full sun to partial shade. Acclimate nursery-grown foliage gradually to stronger sun.

02 · Indoor / outdoor

Make room, indoors or out

An outdoor landscape specimen. Plan for mature root and canopy space; it will outgrow a small balcony pot.

03 · Soil & amendments

Start with good soil

Choose a site with adequate rooting room and drainage. Backfill with the existing soil; use surface mulch kept away from the trunk. Base any fertilizer or pH amendment on a soil test.

04 · Water requirements

Water with care

Maintain consistent moisture, especially during warm growth and establishment. Check often in containers and dry weather; do not let the root ball bake dry.

05 · Growing habit

Give it room to grow

Evergreen, upright native holly, about 20–30 ft tall and 10–15 ft wide. Suits moist sites; do not place it in a dry, shallow container.

06 · Zones & cold protection

Know your growing zone

Suitable for warm landscapes across zones 9b–11, subject to the site and cultivar. Protect new plants and container roots during unusual freezes.
