I drive by Bolton Spring Farms every day (more about that in a future post) and a stand of beautiful red shrubs. I stopped to take pictures on my way to work yesterday. The common name is winterberry. It’s a deciduous holly and the absence of leaves makes the abundant berries the dominant feature. Against the cold bright light and the monochrome winter landscape they pop. These are growing in full sun and I don’t have much of that. But I read that it likes acidic, wet soil so I’m starting to think about where I can fit one into my winter garden.
