American Holly 
Perhaps it was three hundred years ago when the holly tree pictured above 
began to grow. For approximately three centuries it has grown. This tree, 
located near York Furnace, in the southern part of York County, has become 
the largest known specimen of its kind in this latitude. It is estimated to be 
75 feet high, with a circumference at the base of about 65 inches and with 
.4 two-foot diameter. In 1935, through the efforts of the Conservation So- 
ciety of York County, a suitable marker was placed at the base of the tree.
