Common names for this plant also include White, Prickly, or Christmas Holly. It is an upright, pyramidal, evergreen tree that slowly matures to a height of 30 feet, sometimes even 60 feet in warmer areas. It is the only native U.S. holly with spiny green leaves and bright red berries. These fruits are poisonous to humans but enjoyed by many bird and mammal species. American Holly can grow in full sun to shade, and in moist, well-drained, sandy and loamy soils.
