I've been extremely impressed with this plant! I used it in a French countryside-style landscape when we needed the look of Italian Cypress without the issues. They started a bit straggly, but after 4 or 5 years, they're looking full and beautiful. The only thing I hate about Scarlet's Peak Holly is how much everyone loves it! This makes finding them a challenge. They are worth the wait if you need that perfect tall yet narrow addition to your landscape.
