Hello Sacha,
There is a small-leaved holly which is often recommended as a subject for
topiary. It is called Ilex crenata. Its leaves are not usually dark green,
but the variety 'Mariesii' has darker, duller leaves than most. It is
*very* slow growing, but may eventually reach 2m.
Hope this helps.

Some years ago, Ray was given a holly bush. It has a *very* small, very
dark green leaf and is now no more than 4.5 feet in height. It could
easily
be clipped to make a topiary interest. BUT, nobody could provide a name.
It has no berries, so perhaps it's a lonely holly bush? Any ideas as to
ID?
