The American Holly (Ilex opaca) is a stately evergreen tree that typically grows 40-60 feet tall with a narrower spread of 10-20 feet. Known for its glossy, dark green leaves and striking red berries, it brings year-round beauty to any landscape. Hardy in USDA zones 5-9, it thrives in well-drained, acidic soil and does best in partial to full sunlight. It also provides excellent shelter and food for wildlife. Whether used as a specimen tree or in hedges, American Holly’s elegant shape and low maintenance needs make it a standout in any garden.
