Default Re: Identification: What is this?

I did click to enlarge; I wasn't very happy with the other pictures on that site.

When I say "prickly" I mean that there are points to the leaves; not all holly plants are treacherous though the Yankee ones are IME if you're raking with bare feet. Berries are only on one gender so you might have a different sex "tree".

Perhaps you need to say where you found this specimen and specify under what conditions it grows. I do know that Ilex grow all over; the seeds are spread by birds. BTW, up north we used them for wreaths (carefully) because they're evergreens.
