It's the first Mystery Monday of December...where has the year gone? Last week's tree was the Yaupon holly (Ilex vomitoria) and our winner was Jomo. In November I wrote about holly trees and shrubs as well as a growing profile for the yaupon.
Here are your new clues :
- This tree is becoming more common as a living Christmas tree.
- It is native to Australia and some South Pacific islands.
- This is one of the few conifer trees that does well indoors.
Can you name one of my favorite houseplants?
