Ilex decidua
Common name: Possumhaw
An interesting, small tree found growing in the flood-plains and bottomlands of southern Illinois. Not native to our area, but a beautiful addition to any moist yard that has a little shade and a bit of protection from the north. Its nice, dark green leaves are clustered on short, spur-like twigs that are up and down the trunk and major stems. Like other deciduous holly, the leaves are rather a boring color before falling off revealing an awesome display of bright red berries. It has a tendency to sucker if conditions allow, but in our experience that does not happen often.
