Botanical nameIlex ×

Ilex × 'Berri Magic' is an ornamental hybrid holly highly valued for its abundant winter fruiting and naturally dense, structured habit. This female variety is distinguished by its evergreen dark green, lustrous, and leathery foliage, which beautifully showcases a profusion of bright red berries that persist through winter, provided a compatible male plant is present nearby. Its general habit is upright, compact, and well-branched, with a silhouette slightly taller than wide, ideal for evergreen hedges, four-season beds, and specimen plantings. Highly sought after for its strong ornamental interest in winter and its ecological role, 'Berri Magic' provides an excellent food source for birds in the cold season. Robust, decorative, and structuring, it integrates perfectly into northern gardens and sustainable landscape designs.
