Possumhaw

Ilex decidua

Possumhaw is one of the finest native shrubs available for winter interest, producing an abundance of brilliant red, orange, or yellow berries that cling to its bare branches from fall through winter in a display that rivals any ornamental holly. Growing 7–10 feet tall, this deciduous native holly thrives in a range of soils and moisture conditions, from moist bottomlands to moderately dry uplands. Its berries are a critical winter food source for mockingbirds, cedar waxwings, and other songbirds, making it as ecologically valuable as it is visually striking.
