One of the oldest hollies in Oregon 
Dating from 1874 this massive English Holly has been a landmark on the site of the Pioneer Post 
Office in downtown Portland, Oregon. The trunk of this great holly measures approximately three 
feet in diameter and eight feet in circumference, and soars to a lofty fifty feet of towering height. 
A veritable December poem in scarlet and green it radiates its glowing red color which appears 
as a signal beacon to the residents on the hillsides which rise high above the business district.
