American Holly (Ilex opaca) is a small evergreen tree native to the eastern United States. It is characterized by its spiky, glossy green leaves and vibrant red berries, which make it a popular choice for festive holiday decorations. American Holly has several benefits, both aesthetic and ecological.
In landscaping, it is a cherished ornamental tree or shrub for its year-round greenery and its traditional association with holiday decor. The berries provide a food source for birds during the winter months, enhancing biodiversity and supporting local wildlife. These plants are female plants, grown from cuttings. Plant one male holly for every 6 to 8 female plants to ensure a good fruit set. Good for hedge, screen, or specimen plant.
