Vivid red winter berries used for Christmas décor and winter food source for songbirds. Glossy dark green leaves. Grows 5’ – 15’ high and wide at maturity. Good choice for shadier wet locations, but also thrives in full sun. All soil types even wet and compacted. Prefers acidic soil. Phenomenal for rain gardens, low areas of your yard, edges of bodies of water. Native to Massachusetts.
Please note that winterberry plants grow as either pollen producing or pollen receiving plants. Only the pollen receiving plants produce berries and one pollen producing plant is needed for pollination to produce the berries. The grower does not separate these plants. So we do not know what mix of pollen producing and pollen receiving plants you will receive. By providing 5 seedlings, you are likely to have both.
