Holly berries. The holly tree stays green throughout the winter and fruits around now. While not great eating it provided calories in the darkest part of the year.
Humans can’t really eat those. Since there are shitloads in the forest around my house, I looked about using them for forage. Even a couple will irritate your gut.
Otherwise, your explanation feels right. The hollow bushes are most of the color in the woods around here.
