Cultivation Notes: We have very little information on this plant and do not know if it will be hardy in this country. The name might be mis-spelt, in [218] it is listed as Ilex asprella (Hook.&Arn.)Champ. The following notes are based on the general needs of the genus. Succeeds in most soils so long as they are not water-logged[200]. Resents root disturbance, especially as the plants get older[11]. It is best to place the plants into their permanent positions as soon as possible, perhaps giving some winter protection for their first year or two[K]. Plants are very tolerant of pruning and can be cut right back into old wood if required[188]. Dioecious. Male and female plants must be grown if seed is required.
