ooops...wrong forum...I missed the "starting from seed" tag.

Holly? We have some that get a few hours of dappled light. Dozens of migrating cedar waxwings swarm in here for a day and take every holly berry..usually sometime in March. The hollies on the north side get no dappled or direct sun, and bear much less fruit. We had dozens of Robins in the little Prairiefire crabapple about 10 days ago. They stripped it of all its berries. No worms to be found if the ground is frozen. It grows in part sun, part dappled light. ~Bunnycat

Love the flame-leaf sumac but this year the late dry spell threw them for a loop. Probably best for the drier Hill Country area growers. I do like the possum holly for its naked branches with nuttin but berries hiding its nakeness. Berry it baby. Happy Growing David

some are invasive in many places ... meaning.. you should probably be able to find seedlings around... and if you do.. you will want to consider removing a plant.. that is trying to cover your whole yard in seedlings ... not to mention the birds helping it cover the whole neighborhood .. ken Here is a link that might be useful: link
