Our Neighbors' Holly Tree

Here is another good example of Mother Nature making up for lost time, and plants overfruiting this year.
In this picture you can see a few red berries from last year, not that many. But look at all the new berries for this year. This is just one small branch. This tree is really loaded with berries. I wish the birds would eat them, but I don't think they do. They seem to last on the tree a really long time, even into the next year.
My Seek app told me that this is a native holly, Dahoon Holly, Ilex cassine, a close relative of Yaupon Holly. I can see that.
Anyway, when the berries turn red, this tree should be really spectacular. I will show it to you again when that happens.
HAPPY GARDENING!!!
