American Holly will slowly grow up to be about 50' tall. This tree will tolerate a wide range of conditions, but does best in full sun and moist soils. Its evergreen foliage can provide you with privacy all year long. Its small white flowers attract many pollinating insects in the spring. Female trees will produce vibrant red berries from fall through winter, attracting many bird species. It is a host species for the Henry's Elfin butterfly.
