Have you noticed how heavily berried the hollies are this year? We've been impressed with both the rich color and the large number of berries on all our varieties. Pyracanthas are also full of fruit, but it's hard to tell whether this is an exceptional season for them since they are normally bent beneath the weight of their fruit by this time of year. We're taking advantage of the bounty by using prunings in seasonal decorations and flower arrangements.
