I bought a bunch of red twig dogwood plants from NH at their annual plant sale. Got a pack of 10 for $15, IIRC.
I planted them along the embankment that runs along our driveway. We need something for erosion control besides trees that, if a storm takes them out, will take out our power with them. These grow into nice bushes, they are native plants, and so far has established themselves very well.
I have some winterberry holly, too, for around our pond where the ground is wetter. I need to check and see how they are doing.
We have dozens of Red Twig Dogwood, Highbush Cranberry Viburnum and Norway Spruce along our driveway on the North side as both a windbreak and erosion control. They look pretty together.
I have no luck with Holly of any kind. :( I really like the Inkberry varieties.
