There are a couple of deciduous shrubs that can also be used for Christmas decorations. Winterberry is a deciduous cousin of holly and produces a brilliant display of bright red berries that last on the bush into January. Winterberry should hold up for a week or two indoors, especially if it is in water or f loral foam. Shrubs with interesting winter bark, like the red twig and yellow twig dogwoods, produce brilliant red and yellow twigs that look good in Christmas arrangements. French pussy willow has red twigs with tightly shut buds with bright red scales. The red curled twigs of contorted pussy willow adds character to any decoration. Curly willow adds a holiday feel to displays with its yellow, curving twigs. Even the common burning bush has orange berries on characteristic, webbed brown branches. In using any greens, always be aware of the potential fire hazard of these materials and remember
