Ilex cassine

Dahoon holly, Ilex cassine, also sometimes known as Cassena, is an evergreen holly native to the southeastern coast of North America. Its original range was close to the coast, but the range has been extended by planting, because the bright red berries, are quite attractive, set against the glossy green leaves.

As with other hollies, plants are male and female. Only the females have berries, and a male pollenizer must be within range for bees to pollinate them.
