Borreria succulenta  

DESCRIPTION

This sturdy, upright, small tree does well as an accent in the landscape or in a container.  The small glossy green leaves are evergreen and respond well to pruning and shaping.  If you are looking for a dense hedge this upright holly with no “Prickers” can also work as a foundation planting or screen.  The Steeds variety is known to be pest and disease resistant.
