Ready, Set, Grow - Deciduous Holly
Thu, 03/02/2023 - 5:00am
The calendar tells us spring is almost here even though we’ve had quite a bit of warm weather lately. A hallmark of Louisiana (early) spring has always been the stunning red swaths of the new buds and seeds of red maple / swamp maple / Acer rubrum. While those are visible all around the River Parishes, I’ve been surprised by another red tree – deciduous holly / possumhaw / Ilex decidua recently. (Those scientific names come in handy when we have so many common names for trees!)
