Northern American Holly
American Holly is the most robust evergreen broadleaf tree indigenous to North America. It is rarely cultivated today. From seed, it is easy to grow once the dormancy is overcome. I began my plantings over 20 years ago to produce holly seed and find the most vigorous forest like trees with exceptional vigor.

The Nana selection was done by finding precious plants fruiting one or two years from seed. Nana retains it small size while producing a lot of fruit even from seed.

Timber Fruit Tree
Using the apple as a tree for lumber is possible with the use of this seed.
