Bearberries grow as low-lying shrubs in soils predominantly composed of sand, gravel, or dunes in the boreal forest.It is less common north of the tree line. [1]The plant has flexible branches growing up to 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) long covered with red, shredded bark and dark green, oval leaves. [1]
It is a deciduous, dicot shrub growing 0.5–2.5 metres (1 + 1 ⁄ 2 –8 ft) tall. The bark is smooth and reddish grey in colour, the twigs glabrous. [9]The leaves are opposite, elliptic in shape, 6–10 centimetres (2 + 1 ⁄ 4 –4 in) long, unlobed or shallowly 3-lobed, jaggedly serrated, and turning red in autumn; their underside glabrous, especially along the veins.
The fruit is a globose red drupe 6–8 mm (0.24–0.31 in) in diameter, which often persists on the branches long into the winter, giving the plant its English name. Like most hollies, it is dioecious , with separate male and female plants; the proximity of at least one male plant is required to pollenize the females in order to bear fruit.
