- [CASTLE WALL® Blue Holly](https://www.provenwinnerscolorchoice.com/product/castle-wall-blue-holly/): Exactly like it sounds\. Castle Wall blue holly has a dense, upright form\. This habit is commanding enough to use as a specimen, but also works well in groups\. If they are planted closely, they make a rather impenetrable hedge and if they're grouped or spaced out, they are an effective screen\. Foliage is packed along densely positioned branches, which allows the plant its formidable look and also results in great winter hardiness\. Its leaves remain dark and glossy year in and year out\. As a male blue holly, its spring flowers will pollinate those of the female varieties Castle Spire® and Castle Keep®\. The female varieties will bear fruit, but the male will not\.

This is just the right plant if you're looking for an evergreen to stand up to the test of time, like a castle perhaps\.
