Comentarios:

Etnobotánica:

Despite its scientific name, yaupon holly makes a good tea that is commercially available.  This tea has substantial caffeine content.

Comentarios generales:

Many cultivars have been developed or found in the wild ranging from weeping forms to little round balls ('Shillings').

To get fruits, both a male and a female are required. Although there are issues with provenance, 'Shillings' is a male and can provide an inconspicuous source of pollen for larger females. The issue (with no scientifically vetted answer) is whether pollen from a natural dwarf could have any affect on wild populations of yaupon holly (the author suspects 'no' as being dwarf is unlikely to provide any selective advantage in the wild.
