Notes

'China Boy' (a.k.a. 'Mesdob') - male clone; particularly cold hardy; useful pollinator for 'China Girl'; foliage glossy green; grows to 10' tall and wide; rounded, dense habit; "China Series" appears to be both more heat and cold tolerant than the I. rugosa x I. aquifolium hybrids, "Blue Series"
