Video:Yaupon Holly

It’s hard to come up with color in the dead of winter, and that is when we come to appreciate berry season in Mississippi. Many trees and shrubs produce loads of bright red berries, and one of my favorites is yaupon holly. Yaupon holly has very distinctive berries. Sure they’re red and I mean bright candy apple red, but they also have a translucent quality that imparts a gem-like appearance. So in other words yaupon hollies are actually garden jewels that will sparkle in your landscape.
