A dense, upright evergreen shrub with glossy, deep green, holly-like leaves edged with sharp spines. ‘Gulftide’ is valued for its strong structure, cold tolerance, and excellent performance as a hedge or screen. Small, white fall flowers are lightly fragrant but subtle, letting the bold foliage take center stage year-round.
