Plant of the Month – Holly
/Holly is full of color this time of year – the waxy green leaves and red berries. At first, I thought I would feature it as the December plant of the month – but the birds might eat all the berries by then; so here it is in November.
The berries are an early winter treat and go rapidly once they have enough frosts to make them more palatable (although sometimes they start to ferment too resulting in tipsy birds)!
We have three holly trees in our yard and my daughter has two. Hers are older and had a lot more berries this year than our trees did…so the picture is one of her trees.
