Some great plants for both the landscape and holiday decorations.
Hollies… you cannot beat them for their beauty this time of year. Above, Ilex x ‘Emily Bruner’ with berries that encircle the stem…
The Buford Holly (Ilex cornuta ‘Burfordii’) exhibits a heavy fruit set in clusters, except when a late frost kills the blossoms.
Heavenly Bamboo (Nandina domestica); I refer here to the species and not some of the newly engineered dwarfs. Gorgeous grape like clusters of berries that last a very, very long time. (Note, this is NOT a bamboo)
The Viburnum berries that were wonderful & fresh for Thanksgiving are looking a bit tired but still ornamental…
The yellow berries of Viburnum ‘ Michael Dodge’ almost ready for the birds. When they are ‘ready’ they will be devoured in a day.
Happy decorating! And thank you WORDPRESS for the snow.
I always enjoy your posts! The yellow berries of the viburnum are unusual. I’m glad you didn’t overlook the nandina, though, because they do add a lot of color to indoor decorations. Happy decorating to you too!
I have a small tree that’s loaded with orange-red berries that look similar to your Buford’s berries, but the leaves are not the same. I’ll have to send you a photo 🙂 And I am overrun with the “heavenly” Nandina (a garden pest as far as I’m concerned) — once they start getting berries, there’s no stopping them!

Lots of wonderful berries. I am working on increasing the amount of berries in my garden. I have a Nandina domestica but so far no berries
