Ilex opaca
Classic evergreen with glossy leaves and vivid red berries. Essential for winter interest.
Plant a male pollinator nearby for berry production. Prune in late winter. Berries are toxic to pets.
Berries and leaves are toxic to cats and dogs (saponins, methylxanthines) — can cause vomiting and diarrhea; the classic winter-holiday hazard for pets.
Informational only — always check with a veterinarian if you suspect your pet has eaten something it shouldn't have.
