My Holly Bushes Had Red Berries All Summer Long, But Have Lost Them This Fall. Will They Come Back For Winter?

Question

I had just transplanted them this spring and they did great all summer long. It is November, and they have lost all the red berries that they had during summer. Confused.

Answer 1

I wouldn't expect them back this winter. Did they drop or could birds and squirrels have eaten them? When you transplanted the bushes to a new site, the change in cultural conditions may have played a part. Check their growing conditions with these tips:
