Due to the recent discovery of the spotted lanternfly in South Carolina, California has restricted the shipment of plants from SC as well as 15 other states in which the spotted lanternfly had already been found. It was found over 100 miles from Nurseries Caroliniana, but the whole state has been put under quarantine until a treatment protocol can be worked out to resume shipments to California. Authorities hope that this can be accomplished by the end of the month.

Oscar's Dwarf Greenleaf Yaupon. This is a selection made by Tommy Dodd of Semmes, AL, which is the most compact of any Ilex vomitoria that I have ever seen. It is a male as is 'Schillings,' but it has half or less of the growth rate. When one really wants a tough plant that won't overgrow its place in the landscape, this is the one. This selection is a great substitute for boxwood when one is dealing with soils with poor drainage. It is one of the toughest species that I know. It would be great for edging or in a parterre garden design as well as being one of the best of the evergreen hollies to develop into a bonsai.
