Deck the Halls, with Holly Trees

Pine trees aren’t the only kind of evergreen tree that moves front and center this holiday season.

Holly trees are most prevalent in the Southeastern United States, although they can withstand even harsher weather conditions. It does best in moist, fertile, slightly acidic soil. As with bulbs, holly trees need to be planted on well-drained land.

A slow growing tree, hollies love sunlight and can grow up to 30 feet. Only female holly trees produce the bright red berries we’ve grown to love during the holidays. For more holly tree information, visit this link.
