Winterberry needs a pollinator (male and female) to successfully bear berries. If you do not already have winterberry on your property, it is suggested to buy at least 10 shrubs to ensure you have a male and a female shrub to pollinate.
Useful for hedges, erosion control and rain gardens.  Bright red fruit on female plants in August and will hang on into January making for fantastic winter color.  Berries loved by 48 types of songbirds.  Adaptable to wet conditions and is native in swampy areas.  Berries are NOT suitable for human consumption.
