Introducing the Ilex pedunculosa, more commonly known as the Longstalk Holly. This beautiful evergreen shrub/tree boasts shiny dark green leaves that measure up to 3 inches long. But that's not all - it also produces quarter-inch bright red fruit during the fall season. According to plant expert Michael Dirr, this particular holly is the best of the hardy evergreens. However, it may struggle in hot regions. The Longstalk Holly is native to both Japan and China and is known to produce a dark red dye from the leaves. The wood is also a sight to behold, with beautiful, intricate veining in its white coloration. For more information on this stunning plant, check out http://plants.usda.gov today!
