- Weeping Yaupon Holly
This is a weeping variety of Yaupon Holly (Ilex vomitoria). Yaupon hollies are small-leafed (1/2 inch wide by 1 inch wide) with shiny red berries and many uses.

Our favorite upright is 'Shadow's Female,' which has a slightly larger and rounder leaf and produces berries abundantly at an early age. It makes a nice tree-formed specimen or screening plant. Weeping varieties make unusual specimens. Dwarf varieties are similar in shape to 'Helleri' holly. Use yaupons as foundation plantings around houses with no gutters and heavy clay soils or under down spouts (i.e. - where there's lots of water).

|
- Scarlet Oaks
Scarlet Oak (Quercus coccinea) is similar to the Pin Oak, but the leaves do not develop the chlorotic, off-colored look so often found on the Pins. The pointed-tipped, lobed leaves turn from a glossy dark summer green to a fall scarlet late in the season. Pin oak (Quercus palustris), also called Swamp Oak, is a fast-growing tree that tolerates wet soils. It has very horizontal branching, lending interest to the winter landscape. Some of its leaves hold through the winter, requiring more clean-up time. The pin oak usually has pretty good red fall color.
