California native, evergreen shrub or small tree 8-20 feet tall and 8-15 feet wide often seen growing in Sonoma and Marin county wildlands. White flower clusters in summer attract pollinators; red berries in winter provide a splash of color and an important food source for birds. The name “Hollywood” was born from the abundance of toyon in the hills of southern California and its resemblance to European holly. The cultivar ‘Davis Gold’ has yellow berries. Sun along the coast, part shade inland, most well-drained soils
