More information:

American Holly is a small tree or large shrub which is very easy to identify. It grows up to 60 feet tall, but is usually much smaller. American Holly leaves are dark green, tough, and leathery. Sometimes they are very shiny. Underneath, they are yellowish-green. Holly leaves have several "prickles" on the edges.Fruits of this tree are called drupes. The drupes are green and berry-like, turning to bright red. Drupes grow from September to November and stay on the tree through the winter.
