Ilex Shilling (Ilex Vomitoria’nana’). The photo shows the actual tree for sale. This tree was taken as an airlayer off a super mature tree several years ago and perfectly radial rooting and is growing well. I really like the gentle soft curves in the trunk and awesome branching that feels really in flow with the design. This tree will radically improve from a styling in my opinion but is mature and very nice as is. This is quality material for the more mature enthusiasts who cares about branch placement and design on the micro level. Measurements: Height: 15 ” Width: 11″ Trunk Diameter: 1.25″ Nebari (root spread): 2.5″. Ships semi bare root. Keep outside only- full sun is best. Ilex Schillings is a Florida native that produces excellent bonsai material. The small leaves and dwarf habit of this variety produce great character and proportion. Ilex Schillings are also very cold and drought hardy while withstanding serious root and top pruning making them great for bonsai cultivation. The dwarf variety typical is kept as a small hedge but with age can grow to over 10′. At one point in history, Ilex Vomitoria was a very popular tea; not to mention the weeping variety has more caffeine than coffee.
