Answer 1

MASTER GARDENER TO THE RESCUE

Around 1900 the area now known as HOLLYWOOD CALIFORNIA was just empty hills with few roads. The only noticeable thing that stood out was the native plants. The hills were covered with ....

HETEROMELES arbutifolia.
TOYON, CHRISTMAS BERRY,

or better known as....

CALIFORNIA HOLLY.

HOLLYWOOD got it's name from these plants.
unfortunately the hollywood hills no longer are covered with toyon. the plant was removed in favor of houses. today it is very hard to find any of it's name sake inside the hollywood city limits.

you can get toyon at most good plant houses. great large shrub or trimmed into a small,
mult-trunk tree. DONT OVER WATER.

Answer 2

Any nurseries might have them if not look at the PLANTFINDER... remember your location first. Zone Area?

Answer 3

It might not be legal where you are. Some plants are considered invasive and judged not legal.
