Interesting Notes About NELLIE R. STEVENS HOLLY
Dr. Carl Whitcomb calls this "An amazingly durable and tolerant holly that thrives under a wide range of conditions. Especially drought-resistant and a prolific producer of bright red berries."

Terrific Holly, fast growing and tolerates occasionally wet soil much better than most evergreens. I did have a couple badly damaged by deer, they picked them clean, every leaf was gone. They did recover and now I spray them in the winter. Maybe they are deer resistant when they are mature trees, but not when they are young and small.
