we don’t grow holly here in lake wobegon, but if we did, it would look something like this. pretty but not too pretty. no aggressively thorny leaves. no showy red berries. above average, pretty much. ya know?
oak leaves and buckthorn berries from beside my son’s school

Just as pretty! In fact I like these colours more than holly of red and green!
I think you made a wise choice. Holly, though pretty as it is from afar, is far too prickly for my taste.
