American Holly is a classic evergreen tree of eastern forests, recognized for its glossy dark-green leaves and bright red winter berries. This native species provides excellent year-round structure in the landscape while offering valuable food and shelter for birds and wildlife.

Female trees later develop clusters of bright red berries that persist through winter, providing an important food source for birds when other resources are scarce. American Holly grows naturally throughout the eastern United States and performs well in Pennsylvania and the broader Northeast. It is commonly used in wildlife plantings, native hedgerows, windbreaks, and woodland restoration projects. Its dense evergreen foliage also provides year-round cover for birds and small mammals. Once established, American Holly is long-lived and adaptable to a range of soil conditions, growing best in well-drained soils with full sun to partial shade. Seed Pack Options: 25 Seeds 100 Seeds Plant Characteristics: Botanical Name: Ilex opaca Plant Type: Evergreen native tree Mature Height: 3050 feet Sun: Full sun to partial shade Soil: Well-drained, slightly acidic soils preferred Wildlife Value: High berries support birds through winter Planting Notes: American Holly seeds naturally experience warm and cold stratification before germination. Seeds are often best sown outdoors in fall or winter to allow natural seasonal cycles to break dormancy. Germination may occur the following spring or the second growing season, which is normal for many native woody plants. Because American Holly is dioecious, separate male and female trees are required for berry production.
