Like the related Dwarf Inkberry, Black Inkberry is a very hardy, evergreen, spineless native holly. It grows 3 to 4 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet wide. It has very dark green leaves which turn purplish during the winter, and it holds a heavy crop of black berries through out the winter. Black Inkberry also stays full right down to the ground making this an excellent choice for massing, hedging, or foundation plantings. Give Black Inkberry full sun or light shade and average to moist soil. Cat# 1305
