Hi,

I am in Greece on holiday, and I've just come accross what looks exactly like a holly bush, but bearing what looks exactly like acorns. Does anyone know what this is?

Thanks,

Pris.

Hello Pris,

Your description sounds like the Holly Oak (http://www.sunnygardens.com/garden_plants/quercus/quercus_2046.php).  It is a tree that can also be pruned as a shrub.  You can find out about it here:

Let us know if you have any other identification requests!
