Although I have seen American holly's before, I did not realize how big their leaves could get.

The American Holly's leaves can be considered unattractive, so it is suggested to use cultivars with dark green leaves like 'Amy' or 'Angelica'.

Specimen or group. Foundation planting. Foliage provides excellent color for the winter landscape, and cuttings of the same are popular additions to Christmas wreaths and decorations. Berries are attractive and a good winter food source for birds. Hedges. Woodland gardens.

These trees remind me of Christmas because of the red berries. My grandparents have a couple American holly trees at their house.

We had these growing up! My brothers and I would always avoid these when playing outside because of the prickly leaves.

Different from the Common Winterberry Holly because the leaves keep the same shape from young to mature

Typically the winter attractive plant and used as decorative foliage. Red berries cover the tree in the winter and the shiny leaves contribute to its attractiveness and identity.

This plant can be found growing in conditions as wet as the margins of swamps, thus making it an excellent addition to low, moist sites.

I think it was really interesting to learn about the cultural uses of holly. I though they were a thing everywhere at Christmas time but they are instead used in ares that don't have spruce or other trees
