- Foliage: Glossy, dark green leaves that are typically spiny, although some cultivars like 'J.C. van Tol' have nearly spineless leaves.
- Berries: Female plants produce bright red berries in autumn and winter, which are a valuable food source for birds. For berry production, female plants usually need a nearby male pollinator, though self-fertile varieties like 'J.C. van Tol' are available.
- Growth Rate: Generally slow, growing about 10–20 cm per year, which results in a dense, robust structure.
- Eventual Size: Can eventually reach a height of 4–10 metres if unpruned, but responds well to pruning and can be maintained as a hedge or topiary at a desired size.
- Hardiness: Hardy and robust, able to tolerate a wide range of conditions, including coastal exposure and urban pollution.
- Position: Thrives in full sun or partial shade and is one of the few native evergreens that can also tolerate deep shade.
