Peach-leaf holly is characterized as an evergreen tree, exhibiting a robust form with glossy, deep green leaves. The foliage offers a classic holly appearance, with margins that may be smooth or bear subtle spines. Dioecious in nature, it produces distinct male or female flowers on separate plants, a key aspect to note for fruiting purposes. The berries, resultant on female plants given male proximity, display a vibrant red. Typically, this species reaches heights of 15-25 feet (4.5-7.6 meters) with a spread nearly as wide, indicating its substantial presence in a landscape.
