Ilex aquifolium, also known as holly, is a species of flowering plant native to western and southern Europe, northwest Africa, and southwest Asia. It is an evergreen tree or shrub commonly found in shady areas of forests and beech hedges. Its glossy green leaves and bright red berries have long been associated with Christmas and are often used in wreaths and decorations. Holly is also a popular ornamental shrub or hedge, with various cultivars available in different colors. It can grow up to 10 meters tall, but is typically smaller in height and has a pyramidal shape. Holly is a pioneer species, able to adapt to different conditions and often found repopulating the margins of forests or clearcuts. It is also an important food source for winter birds. Holly has a long history of use, including as fodder for livestock and in traditional bagpipes. However, its berries are toxic to humans and should not be consumed.
