Description
Description
Need height, structure, and year-round greenery—but want something native and low-maintenance? Squeeze Box® Inkberry Holly is ready to rise to the occasion. This upright, pyramidal evergreen brings a formal touch to your landscape while staying true to its tough, North American roots. It's perfect as a specimen, a vertical accent, or even a unique hedge for those who want something more refined than the usual.
But here’s the bonus: Squeeze Box is a male inkberry holly, which means it plays an essential role in your garden. When planted near female varieties like Gem Box® or Strongbox®, it helps them produce the signature blue-black berries that birds and gardeners both adore.
Best of all, Squeeze Box is not just good-looking—it’s tough. This variety handles deer, heat, salt, and poor soils like a champ. It’s evergreen, easy to grow, and full of purpose, making it a smart and beautiful choice for almost any space.
Why we love it:
-
The only inkberry holly with a tall, upright pyramidal habit
-
Evergreen, deer-resistant, and native to North America
-
Pollinates Gem Box® and Strongbox® hollies for fruit production
