American Holly
American Holly is an attractive evergreen tree, with silky green leaves, and bright red fruit (when cross-pollinated). To your preference, some trim these trees to stay towards a smaller shrub-like stature, while others let them grow to full capacity, typically reaching up to 30 feet in urban areas. Tolerating many soil conditions, the American Holly is a well-regarded ornamental tree.
