I love this holly tree.  And right now it is loaded with these gorgeous red berries.  

 

Seek identified it as American holly, Ilex opaca.  But I think it's something else.  Hang on, let me go look it up.  

 

I'm back.  Yes it is a holly, but not an American holly.  It is Dahoon holly, Ilex cassine.  American holly has more shapely leaves;  you know, with more points like those in Christmas decorations.  

 

This Dahoon holly is fantastic.  The leaves aren't so pointy, making it easier to get close to it, and the berries start out yellow and ripen to red.  Just look at them all!!!

 

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
