Possumhaw holly (Ilex decidua)
Possumhaw holly brings color to the late fall and winter landscape
with yellow/orange to red berries adorning leafless stems after
the foliage drops.
Berries persist through the winter or until discovered by one of
the many species of birds that prize them. This Texas native makes
a beautiful arching shrub.
It is not picky about soil type and after a little supplemental
watering during the first season to help it get established will
do remarkably well with little care. It does well in full sun to
part shade. Like other hollies, possumhaw holly plants are either
male or female, with only the female plants capable of producing
berries.
