Arbutus are small trees or shrubs with red flaking bark and edible red berries. [6] Fruit development is delayed for about five months after pollination, so that flowers appear while the previous year's fruit are ripening. [6] Peak flowering for the genus is in April with peak fruiting in October. [7]
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 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. [8 ...

The plant is a calcifuge , favoring acidic soil, in pine or hardwood forests, although it generally produces fruit only in sunnier areas. [ 5 ]
