January 28 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Chapter member Gwen Williams, will be sharing tips on growing and propagating native yaupon trees. These are wonderful native trees that provide great habitat and food for birds. Gwen is incredibly knowledgeable and is sure to inspire us to add these amazing native trees to our landscapes.
The Yaupon holly will keep its leaves to bring form and green to a winter-scape. The Possumhaw holly retains its brilliant berries well into the winter which makes for some wonderful red for the holidays.
Both hollies are Texas natives and grow easily in Parker County, and the Cross Timbers eco region. They are host plants for the Henry’s Elfin Butterfly and attract a wide variety of butterflies, birds, small mammals, and nectar insects.
If you would like to learn more about these wonderful native shrubs and how to propagate and care for them, come join us at our January meeting!
