is it early for holly berries?

Mine have plenty too.
Mind you they did last year, but when it came to getting some for a christmas wreath the birds had beaten me to it.

No not really, but I bet the birds have already noticed them!!

My golden king has none yet this year so I was hoping September ,when I took this pic, was early:-(

no this is about right really. will probably be all gone by christmas. :o(

My female holly got all out of sinc. this year and didn't flower. I'm putting it down to the fact that two winters ago it had a huge crop of berries and, for some reason, the birds didn't eat them. They were still on the tree the next year and eventually rotted off.

my neighbours is full of berries, mine is the male-- but guess what! in the hedge I've found a young one!-- and its got a berry-- I felt so proud.....

Ah Pamg look after it :)

Mine too are all ripe. Cut branches kept in a cool shady shed last for several weeks. Sometimes we have stuck Cotoneaster berries on to the Holly if it has been lost to the Blackbirds.

Congratulations Pamg on the birth of your berry;-) Thanks all, my golden king, on closer, inspection does have a few (still green) berries but nothing to write home about. There must have been a time when they ripened in December? Global warming? cold summer? Poaannua that's what I call dedication;-) don't they eat your cotoneaster berries, they do mine?

Ot cotoneaster berries vanish rapidly.

ive got berries on my cotoneaster and my holly bush now as yet no birds have been after them

Lucky you, still no berries on mine:-( I had to dig my cotoneaster up this year, It was massive and could no longer be reigned in with pruning, keep finding seedlings though :-)
