Every fall, I notice too late that the holly bush berries around Dallas have turned red right under my nose. Holly wreaths are a big Christmas-season item so it makes sense the berries would be red by then, but one likes to notice when-exactly things like the turning of berries from green to red occur.
After a super-vigilant watch in 2009, I can report the following:
1. The berries first started losing their kelly-green-ness on Wednesday October 14.
2. By the weekend of October 17, three days later, the green started taking acquiring a hint of yellow-orange.
3. By early November, few berries are still green. (See photo above.) Some are hinting at solid redness, some are warming up to red with a brick-rust tint, while others are a transitional yellow-ish.
Update on full red status TK!
