Winterberry - Ilex verticillata
$15.00
A bright flash of color in an otherwise barren landscape, winterberry shows up best in late Fall. This northern holly loses its leaves but produces scarlet red berries, which hug the stem, lasting well into winter to provide food for hungry birds. The boughs make beautiful decorations for the holiday season. Mature plants will reach 6 to 8 feet.
Winterberry plants are male or female. Only females make berries, but both are necessary for fruiting.
Plant males 2 to 10 feet from females or plant 1 of each sex in the same hole to ensure good pollination.
