Deciduous Holly is an upright spreading native deciduous shrub with a rounded crown.  Its narrow, glossy dark green leaves that turn dull purple or yellow in fall.  If pollinated, female flowers give way to orange-red fruits in fall which lasts through winter.  Grows best in moist, slightly acidic well-drained soils.  Needs both male and female plants to produce berries.
