I miss our holly trees--both about as big as that one. We had a boy holly and a girl holly of the same species, with the points along the edges as well as the tip of the leaf. You can tell boy trees from girl trees because only the girl trees have the red berries. They're beautiful trees--and the wood (we had to prune, occasionally) is white and close-grained and gorgeous. Also sacred, to some.
There are about elebenty-seven species of holly, and we had most of them in NC. But my favorite is this, the classic. Touch a leaf for me in passing, would you? Maybe some network of communication will get the message back to the trees at our old house.
