Introducing the Ilex montana, also known as Mountain Winterberry or Mountain Holly. This native species of holly is found along the Appalachian Mountains, ranging from southeast Massachusetts to northeast Alabama and northern Georgia. Its bright red fruits shine on woody slopes, making it a picturesque addition to any landscape. This deciduous shrub or small tree grows up to 12 meters tall, with light green leaves that turn yellow in the autumn. Its flower blooms in late spring, featuring a four-lobed white corolla, and leads to a spherical bright red drupe that contains four seeds. Add the stunning Ilex montana to your garden for a breathtaking touch of nature.
