Fun, weird, helpful, or little known fact
This hardy plant is abundant throughout our area. An evergreen, it is able to withstand many degrees of heat, cold, and drought, and its leaves turn a beautiful red in the fall, some of which remain red in the spring. The berries are edible, but much more delicious to bears than people!
