Anyone got a real source on this? I grew up near a forest that had loads of these, and all the leaves were always spiky. Sure, there were also loads of deer around, but I can't remember having ever seen a non-spiky one like that. Looks more like an odd mutation or so to me.

Cool! So it's European holly that does this. I've never seen a non-prickly American holly leaf, tho
