Answer 1

This is not the Shadow variety, but this article includes a picture of a full grown Yaupon holly hedge:

Yaupon holly does not need pruning to grow into a healthy shrub, but it may need some pruning if you want to make it into an even hedge. See this article:

It should be spaced 8 to 10 feet apart.
