Description: | Holly is a small evergreen tree native to most of the British Isles. It normally occurs in the understorey of deciduous woodlands but is also commonly used in hedgerows. Holly is traditionally associated with Christmas, but was also an important plant in pre-Christian Europe. In ancient Britain, the Druids believed that Holly was sacred as it stayed green during the winter months. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | North East plants natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
