Yes, the red berries were about the prettiest part of the plant, as I recall....that and the nice autummn color.
Don't over-do, MEG.
Mine is confined between the house and a sidewalk..and it gives foliage all year round and nice color fall through early spring with the berries but I have a constant job of trimming to do all summer into fall..
I have done one hedge..must do the other. I am dreading it! I have learned a new trick..I reach in and snap off new growth instead of trimming it in the summer ..Much easier to get what I am aiming for.. I, of course, can’t do that for heavy pruning.
I think I’ll go out now and do one fourth of it today..It’s going to look so ugly for awhile.
