What is this? My plant identifier says it is a live oak, or a Chinese Holly- but it doesn’t look like it. I kinda need help right now before it gets to big- if it is something that gets too huge.

Mine says Chinese holly. It kind of looks like one.🤷‍♀️

I don’t know, but I think it might be a Chinese Holly. You could wait a while to see if it grows berries. Though if it is a Chinese Holly, the berries are poisonous to pets and humans.
