State Trees Series: Delaware, American Holly

The state tree of Delaware is the American holly (Ilex opaca), designated in 1939. This evergreen tree is known for its glossy, dark green leaves and bright red berries, which provide food for birds and other wildlife. American holly was once an important crop in Delaware, as its branches were widely used for holiday decorations. It thrives in the state's forests and wetlands, adding beauty and ecological value to the landscape. The State Trees collection is a unique way to show your state pride!
