That's all nice information and don't get me wrong, I'll happily add hollies when/where I can.
For now I am fostering about a dozen volunteers of I assume, American hollies.

But I'm writing about a few evergreens to try and Osmanthus Goshiki is in our Home Depots this fall. I took pictures but did not feel them. Now I read that they are softer to the touch than hollies. I just wondered if someone could affirm, or if that was a piece of propaganda.
1,2 Goshiki
3 some Holly for sale there
4- some Boxwood there- anyone care to guess variety? I'll go back and check a tag if I use this picture.
