Butcher's broom is often known as the Knee Holly. It is a bush that blossoms in the spring, and it can be found most often in the Mediterranean and Europe. It's leaves are very similar to our well-known asparagus plant. Although, the difference in the leaves is that they are quite prickly, like a Holly. It's second name, the Knee Holly, was given to the plant because when fully grown, it can reach heights of up to three feet. Another name that has been given to the plant is Jew's Myrtle. It has often been said that this plant was popular during the Feast of Tabernacles.
