Holly Berries

None on my holly bush yet.

how old are they when they get berries amy?

Wow, such a lot of berries there...it looks great!

Beautiful berries.

That's a great photo Amy :-)

The farmers i know tell me that because all the berry trees are so packed this year it means a very hard winter :-((((

Thanks girls , I can't tell you i'm afraid Sandra , these trees were already here when we came ..

Louise these farmers contradict each other , some say it's the sign of a hard winter to come , others say it's the sign of the good summer we've had .... these trees have always had a lot of berries on since we have been here , we have friends who come and cut it for xmas decor. they have to have it 6 wks before xmas and keep it in a bucket of water .. if they leave it any longer there isn't any left , the birds have it !

ok thanx amy, i have a small varigated bush so just wondered, :o)

Wow ....

wowwwwwwwwwwwww you do have a lot dont you..........my holly bush only has a few, the first time its had any.............

Thanks Sandra / Janette / Holly you may have more next year now that it has started producing berries .. :o)

loads of berries there Amy, makes for a great photo

I hope so............

I would love to set a holly hedge, you dont see them much these days :-(

I could save you all the baby ones that grow in my garden Dawn but it would take a lifetime for them to grow to any size :o(

That's the problem isnt it Amy - its the same for beech - beautiful hedges if you can be patient.

I love to see a good beech hedge Dawn , I can't wait that long , I will have to admire other peoples :o)

We set a beech hedge last year Amy and I'm not a patient person, lol. I dont want it to be too high as long as its nice and thick.

You lucky girl .. is it one of the lovely copper beech ones or green ?

The green leaved variety Amy :-)

You will have a beautiful hedge , don't keep watching it to see if it's grown ..LOL..

I wont Amy - a bit like waiting for a kettle to boil :-)
