Narrative
I. (aquifolium x cornuta) 'Nellie R. Stevens' /NA 7075/ x I. integra /NA 9175/. This accession was not officially released by USNA when it received its name and started to be distributed and sold by nurseries; evaluation cooperators began offering it commercially as 'Cherry Bomb' without permission. It has become very popular, especially in areas of the southern U.S., where it performs particularly well, and was later (2015) accepted as a quasi-official USNA release in recognition of its popularity.
