Dear WW: Your bittersweet must be prettier than what I had in MA. Of course.
I was spoiled by having lots of holly with berries. Far prettier than bittersweet.
Did you know holly has berries of different germination time? Some won't
germinate ;unless a bird has eaten them, some germinate first year, some
skip a year. I forget exact details, it was long ago I heard about it.
Of course there are far more male trees than female. At least only one
in a hundred has berries, or it seems like it.
