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.

[5] It often grows as part of the heath complex in an oak–heath forest. [6] [7] [8]
A system developed in 2022 [7] showed that automated identification achieves accuracy that is sufficiently high for being used in an automated insect surveillance system using electronic traps. By training classifiers on a few hundred images it correctly identified fruit-flies, and can be used for continuous monitoring aimed at detecting ...
A double-flowered form of the thimbleberry was discovered near Squamish, British Columbia, by Iva Angerman (1903–2008) of West Vancouver. [21] This clone does not appear to be in commerce, but is grown in the Botanic Garden of the University of British Columbia , Vancouver , and in the Native Plant Garden of the Royal British Columbia Museum ...
