The Holly shrub, botanically known as Ilex, is a genus comprising of about 400 species. Holly is an ancient plant that has been used by former civilizations for decoration and ceremonial reasons.
Holly trees (Ilex opaca) are evergreen trees with prickly, glossy green leaves and red berries. The tree grows in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 6 through 9. Holly trees grow up to 40 feet tall, but they are slow growers gaining only about 9 feet every 20 years. They prefer full sun or light shade and rich, well-draining, slightly acidic soil. Growing hollies from berries is a slow task because they require a long stratification and germination period.
