It’s fantastic to see the update! I really appreciate videos that show you the progress over time. This project is so exciting! I’m really happy for you guys! Keep up the good work and good luck!
Thanks for the layering reminder! I got a bunch of different ilex species this year and I noticed that the birds like Robins and others devoured all the red berries off a summer ripening mountain holly - ilex mucronata - native to the NE and where I’m at in Vermont. It’s a deciduous dioecious plant with very pretty soft dark green leaves. Very pretty full of red berries against green leaves for the little bit of time the berries are on the plant 🤪! It is more tolerant of shade and probably less tolerant of full sun being a mountain plant. Now I’ve got several varieties of winterberry, the mountain holly, multiple inkberries amongst a bunch of different dogwoods in a shaded wooded area I’m calling Hollywood or Dogberry. 😃
I'm jealous lol.. I've searched everywhere for ilex mucronata but have never seen it... your garden sounds amazing. I too love seeing all the birds coming everyday to eat the berrys.... thanks for the comment and good luck!

@@Jem544 maybe a well-placed trip to Massachusetts in April can find you at the Native Plant Trust opening weekend at Garden in the Woods in Framingham, near Boston, mid-April!
I drive 2 hours one way multiple times in a season to visit the native gardens and buy plants. Often they have plants for sale not even on the list like leatherwood and white buckeye shrub, which I snagged last time I drove down in May. As a birthday gift for myself.
@@olgakuchukov6981 that's great. I went to one by me earlier in the spring and found some hard to find plants ( around here anyway) but there's always a plant that seems to elude me....but the journey is great!
Those will look great when they’re filled in! You should consider adding a few of the gold/orange colored varieties to mix in with them. I’m not sure which cultivars go will Jim Dandy though.
Thanks for the comment. I've thought about mixing in some snowberries but I think having all Red will be more dramatic. But the gold and orange is a good thought for some of the other areas of my yard. Thanks for the suggestion ☺️
Love It ❤❤❤❤

Thanks for the comment! The Bluebirds have totally stripped all the berries off these shrubs which is awesome!
I loved learning more about "Nature's Christmas Lights." Best wishes for Happy Gardening 2021!
Thanks for the comment and happy gardening to you as well..🙂
Those are stunning

They do which is great. I love saving money..lol
What technic to get 3 plants out of it?
Hi. Layering is an easy way to get free plants. That's the technique I'm using on this video. Thanks for the comment.
It’s called “layering” and he talks about it in this video: m.ua-cam.com/video/NsrxoetMfP8/v-deo.html
