Plant Spotlight: American holly

American holly (Ilex opaca) is a native evergreen tree found in Georgia, naturally occurring in each of Georgia's eco-regions. It is a slow-growing tree that reaches up to 60 feet in its southern range. Plants are dioecious so only female trees bear the fruit that birds love. Read more on our profile of this plant.
