[Species] toyon (Heteromeles arbutifolia) [Notes on the species] 
The bright red fruit the toyon produces in the fall gives this plant its other name, the Christmas berry tree. While considered a shrub, toyon is one of our larger plants, reaching a height of 25 feet. It is a member of the rose family and sports dark green leaves having lightly serrated edges.
