Ilex Attenuata 'Fosteri' is a moderate growing shrub and tree that can be grown in USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 6A through 9B. It matures to an average height of 15 feet to 30 feet and an average width of 6 feet to 10 feet, depending on climate and other environmental factors. It prefers growing in a location that provides full sun, morning sun with afternoon shade, morning shade with afternoon sun or filtered sun and grows best when planted in sand, loam or clay soil that is well drained. It attracts visual attention and songbirds / birds and is resistant to deer, drought, insects, diseases and heat.
Foster Holly can be useful in the landscape along woodland borders, in foundation plantings, as a buffer or screen, in containers or planters, as a background, around decks, swimming pools, and other outdoor living areas, to provide shade, as a focal point, in landscape beds or islands or to frame the corners of a home or other building and also in rock or xeriscape gardens, theme gardens or shade gardens.
Noteworthy Characteristics
Fosteri holly has a natural, pyramidal form. In late fall the branches are smothered in bright scarlet berries that contrast strikingly with the gray green foliage. And, best of all, these berries persist into winter.
Uses
Fosteri holly is tidy and polished in form making it useful as a specimen. It's dense enough that it works well as a windbreak and the spiny leaves make it a good choice for a barrier hedge. It would also be dramatic lining a drive, clustered about an entryway, or to frame the corners of a taller home or other building.
Culture
Prefers sun to part shade and well drained moist acidic soil. Does not require pruning however responds well to occasional clippping for a more formal appearance.
