💚Plant Nerd: Oakleaf/Conaf continues the Holly theme of extremely complicated parentage, where hybrids are crossed with hybrids to create geneticaly complex children. Oakleaf/Conaf is a child of Mary Nell (also a complicated plant) but contains Ilex cornuta (Chinese Holly), I. pernyi (Pernyi's Holly - also from China), and I. latifolia (Native to China and Japan) genetics. In case you were wondering if this holly might be native to the US, it does not appear to be.
