Description

Hut 3 Berry Heavy® winterberry produces copious amounts of bright red berries that really shine in the fall and winter landscape. It is a deciduous holly, which means it loses its leaves in fall, but this makes that vivid fruit even showier. The berries can also be cut for use in floral arrangements. To produce berries a male and female plant are both required – use Mr. Poppins® winterberry holly as the pollinator. One male plant will pollinate up to 5 female plants; plant within 50′ of one another to assure good pollination. Berries are not edible for humans but are relished by birds after they’ve softened in mid-winter. Part sun to sun Height: 6-8 ft. Spread: 6-8 ft. Blooms on old wood According to Rutgers University, Ilex sp. are “seldom severely damaged” by deer. photo credit: Proven Winners a Proven Winners plant
