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?

Ilex crenata? Quite a few forms to choose from - sounds like a god bet. Yes I've
often thought they could be used in many of the situations where you might
otherwise use Box. Less clipping and no awful smell. We've got a nice little
fastigiate form here.
