Ilex mitis Bonsai Seeds Family: Aquifoliaceae (holly family)
The African holly has attractive bark and berries. It grows throughout the country, making it suitable for colder, frosty gardens and for Bonsai throughout South Afica. Description Young twigs are a reddish purple colour. The lance-shaped, simple, alternate leaves are a shiny dark green and are carried on plum-coloured stalks. They are pointed, sometimes curled tips and wavy, sometimes slightly toothed margins. The plum-coloured leaf stalks help to identify the tree. The midrib is sharply impressed above and prominent below. The small flowers are borne in spring or early summer in bunches between the leaf axils. They are white and sweetly scented. Ilex is the Latin name for the Holm oak, and mitis means unarmed, alluding to the leaves which are not prominently toothed, unlike some other species in the genus which have sharply spiny leaves, such as the traditional holly, Ilex aquifolium, used in Europe and North America for Christmas decorations.
