Holly Now Grown In Many Parts Of Land
Holly now grows across the coastal states from Maine to Texas and up the Mississippi valley to Missouri. The plant is slow growing with evergreen leaves and widely spaced spines. Wood is white but weak and close-grained, suitable for woodenware and cabinets. Adventive cuttings root quickly with hormone like substances. Christmas holly is now sold as potted plants for landscaping and ornament. Growth regulating chemicals such as indole butyric acid and naphthalene acetamide are marketed for applied use on fresh cuttings kept moist and shaded.
