Ilex decidua with red "berries" The growth habit of I. decidua lends it to various ornamental and functional uses in its native regions. [2] The thick trunks and stems allow this plant to serve as an effective screen if desired. [3] The lower branches can also be removed to form a more tidy small tree with a tight head of foliage at the crown. [3]
The yellow flowers grow in showy clusters which appear in early spring, before the leaves begin to grow. The flowers have 6 sepals and a very sweet odor. [ 2 ] The ripe fruit is a red, ellipsoidal, berrylike drupe , rich in lipids, about 1 cm ( 1 ⁄ 2 in) long and is eaten by several bird species. [ 11 ]
The fruit is red and 6–9 mm (0.24–0.35 in) across. [4] It is an epigynous berry , with the majority of the flesh of the fruit being composed of the fleshy calyx. The plant is a calcifuge , favoring acidic soil, in pine or hardwood forests, although it generally produces fruit only in sunnier areas. [ 5 ]

Beneficially, the shrub survives harsh winters, down to temperatures of -40 degrees (Fahrenheit); [ 13 ] but has little tolerance for shade, drought, or fire.
