Day 27: When we think of Holly, we usually think of red berries and Christmas-green leaves, but there are also yellow-fruited species. Golden Girl is one of the best known. Its dark green leaves provide a rich contrast to berries which are canary yellow at maturity. This particular tree has parented many others in my area, the seeds carried by birds who feed on the fruit. I keep hoping a Robin or a Cedar Waxwing will plant one in my yard, but it hasn't happened yet.
