Did you know that Holly trees switch genes on to make their leaves spiky when nibbled by deer? This defense mechanism helps protect the tree from herbivore pressure. The upper leaves on taller trees have smooth edges, while the lower leaves are prickly. Plants are amazing at adapting to their environment! 🌳🦌🍃

Holly trees are toxic, the berries are poisonous. But they sure look pretty, during the holidays.
