Not sure, Ilex opaca is the latin name for it if this helps with your search.

it doesn't look that different from common holly - is it a faster grower?
tully's nurseries doesn't have american holly, and they'd be one of the bigger suppliers in dublin. neither does future forests in cork.

I love holly trees, but bloody hell they sure are slow growing. I might get one of these if they are faster growing
