Add classic year-round beauty to your landscape with Satyr Hill American Holly, a native evergreen tree known for its bright red berries, glossy green foliage, and strong pyramidal form.

In fall, clusters of vivid red berries develop and persist through winter, providing a striking contrast against the large evergreen leaves. The berries also serve as an important food source for birds and wildlife during colder months.

This cold hardy and low maintenance holly is ideal for specimen plantings, privacy screens, native landscapes, and holiday decorating. It grows upright with a pyramidal habit and reaches a mature height of approximately 35 feet and width of 20 feet.
