Weeping Yaupon Holly: A Graceful Native

The tall, thornless bush with red berries is weeping yaupon holly (Ilex vomitoria 'Pendula'). Its columnar form fits tight spaces. Regular yaupon is a large rounded shrub; Native Americans brewed caffeinated tea from its leaves (the species name hints at the digestive effect of overindulgence).

Minimal care: occasional pruning if it outgrows its spot.
