Etymology
Tollon is a rare name, so a helpful way to remember it is to break it into tall + on and imagine a small tree that stays 'on' with green leaves and bright red berries through the winter. That's why tollon suits an ornamental evergreen shrub with large white flowers and red, berry-like fruit.
