GC was great to work with and the order camenin sooner than anticipated! Excited to see these put on size and freate a hedge!
Mid-Michigan. Have not had them over winter yet, but love the Strongbox Inkberry Holly so far. Deep green color. Very healthy. Deer have not bothered them yet. Nice shape. Very attractive.
It's perfect in a large pot
