Holly is an evergreen plant, easily identified by its thick, oval, dark green leaves, rimmed with multiple spurs. The leaves slowly contort as they age, causing the spikes to offer protection it three dimensions. The interior branches are very tangled together due to the trees age or the conditions it is growing in. This Holly is tightly surrounded with Rhododendron ponticum which does not leave much space for the plant to grow. On the bottom left hand photo you can see suckers indicating the plant has been damaged at some point and is sending smaller branches as an insurance. Overall, the plant seems to be in good a condition.
