Description:
Ilex decidua, commonly known as the deciduous holly, is a shrubby tree or bush with glossy, oval, toothed leaves. Female plants produce clusters of persistent red berries that provide food and shelter for birds, making it a bird-friendly choice for gardens. The plant's flowers offer nectar for early pollinators, and it serves as a host for beneficial caterpillars. Ilex decidua is adaptable to a wide range of environments, preferring full sun and well-drained moist soil, and is seldom damaged by deer.
