Holly Possum Haw 'Warren's Red
Ilex decidua 'Warren's Red'(Evergreens)
When you pass by a Possum Haw holly after its red and yellow berries appear, you'll do a double-take!
The gray branches, when laden with berries, make a portrait against the sky or its backdrop. The colorful berries last throughout winter unless eaten by birds who love the fruit--a perfect situation for bird watchers.
