American Holly is a small tree that grows to 6 - 10 m (19 - 33 feet) and is dioecious (individual specimens have either "male" or "female" flowers, not both). Its leaves remain green through the winter, and its bright red berries (on female trees) provide a welcome respite from winter's drab browns.
