Don't Forget To Add These for Your Plants:

American Holly is a beautiful evergreen tree that is highly valued for its glossy green leaves and vibrant red berries. Known for its dense, pyramidal shape and glossy, dark green leaves that are typically spiny and have a wavy or serrated edge. Female American Holly trees produce small, bright red berries that ripen in the fall and persist through the winter. To ensure berry production, it's important to have a compatible male holly tree nearby, such as 'Jersey Knight'. Best planted in moist, slightly acidic well-drained soils.
