It is hardy in zones 6-9. Lines of Nellie R. Stevens Holly are often used as buffers or screens because they maintain a uniform, dense pyramidal shape without pruning. The fruit is not known to attract animals or cause litter problems. It can be grown in full sun or partial shade on well-drained, slightly acid soil.
