Test Hollies Program

The Test Holly Program, initiated in 1986, gets new cultivars into the hands of Holly Society members, who provide feedback on the plants’ performance in a variety of climates and growing conditions. Plants are evaluated for hardiness, bloom time, growth rate, soil requirements, site exposure, diseases, insect pests, and deer resistance.
