	Holly Plant Study
		Holly is a shrub with tree-potential though it is so humble that it will remain a shrub where other species have already formed a forest of trees.
		Holly has characteristics common to all trees, among them: the appearance of uniting cosmic and earthly forces by growing higher up than herbs, and by planting their roots much deeper into the ground.
		Holly is a selfless companion to fellow trees: as equal partners it exists with Oaks and Yew, elsewhere, as humble undergrowth to Oak and Beech.

	Plant Taxonomy - Introduction
		In fact, the plant was so revered that it was called the 'holy tree' and eventually ‘holly.’ A Christian legend suggests that the plant was at one time deciduous but miraculously grew leaves to hide the holy family from Herod's soldiers.
		Another verse from the "Holly and the Ivy" relates: "The holly bears a berry/ As red as any blood / And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ / To do poor sinners good.” Legends suggest that the berries were once white or yellow and turned red when they became stained with Christ's blood.
		Although no evergreen holly grows in our area, we are lucky to have one particularly beautiful member of this family, Ilex verticillata — the winterberry (or Black alder) — growing in the St. John's Arboretum.
