It is a low shrub of only six inches that does well throughout Palm Beach County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quailberry will grow into a two foot diameter mat of tiny green leaves and has bright red berries almost all year. The leaves have sharp lobes which make them look like a holly leaf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Full sun is required, although partial shade will do. Birds eat the berries which are mildly sweet and edible. This is not a holly, but a member of the Bittersweet family. The low height and slow growth rate make this a superb groundcover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The soil should be rich with fertilizer and organic matter to produce the most beautiful plants. We lay down a rubbery, easy to replace, weed cloth and cut a hole to place the plant in. Mulch was added last. Once established, it is very drought tolerant and will survive in nutrient poor soil, yet not look its best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use quailberry in a rock garden along with Lignum Vitae, Beach Creeper, Longstalk Stopper, Thatch Palms, Coontie, Chapman\u2019s Cassia, Joewood, Rhacoma, Twinflower, Havana Scullcap and Locustberry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.regionalconservation.org\/beta\/nfyn\/plantdetail.asp?tx=Crosilic\">Click here for more info.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quailberry Crossopetalum ilicifolium Quailberry, also known as Christmasberry, is native to parts of the Keys and the Miami Rocklands.
