The Pride of Houston Yaupon Holly (Ilex vomitoria ‘Pride of Houston’) is a Texas native that lives up to its name. This improved selection of the Yaupon Holly boasts a combination of desirable traits, making it a popular choice for southern landscapes. Unlike some hollies that struggle in harsh conditions, the Pride of Houston thrives in the heat and drought that define much of Texas. This resilience, coupled with its beautiful form and adaptability, makes it a valuable addition to gardens across the region. One of the most striking features of the Pride of Houston Yaupon is its upright and neat branching structure. Unlike some Yaupon varieties that sprawl outwards, this holly develops strong, well-spaced branches that gracefully reach upwards. This form not only creates a visually pleasing silhouette but also serves a practical purpose. The well-spaced branches readily support the weight of the holly’s impressive foliage and abundant winter fruit. Additionally, this improved branching reduces the need for frequent pruning, further adding to the plant’s low-maintenance appeal. The beauty of the Pride of Houston Yaupon extends beyond its form. It boasts a dense covering of glossy, deep green leaves that persist year-round. These leaves are larger than some Yaupon varieties, measuring 2 to 3 inches long and 1 to 1.5 inches wide. This lush foliage adds a touch of vibrant green to any landscape, and its glossy surface reflects sunlight, creating a touch of sparkle in your garden. Come fall, the Pride of Houston lives up to its festive reputation by producing an abundance of bright red berries. These berries not only add a pop of color but also attract winter birds, creating a haven for wildlife in your backyard. Overall, the Pride of Houston Yaupon offers a winning combination of drought tolerance, low-maintenance beauty, and festive winter interest, making it a true Texan treasure.
