Abstract
Over 500 different varieties of hollies (Ilex spp) are grown in the US as hedges, garden borders, and specimen plants. A well managed planting is generally free of pests and diseases but when growing
conditions are poor, pest and disease can become a problem (Ingram and Barrick 2003). This document is IPM-141 (IN649), one of a series of the Entomology and Nematology Department, UF/IFAS Extension. First published: January 2006.
