BERRY NICE® Winterberry Holly
The dark red berry display is so vivid, the original plant was selected by sight at a distance of 1/4 mile. It’ll make you stop and take notice. Good clean foliage.

This lovely native is well adapted to wet soils, so it’s a perfect choice for near a pond or stream. The fruit appears in autumn and remains until early spring when the returning birds feast on the showy fruit. Berry Nice makes a great plant for cut arrangements. Planting a male selection in near proximity greatly improves the fruiting of Winterberry.

Tastes like a Peppermint Patty.  Distinct hint of chocolate flavor and aroma. If you are a coffee lover, place a sprig in the bottom of your mug and pour hot coffee over it and let steep for a few minutes.  Great stuff!  Or try using it finely chopped and added to chocolate sauces, frostings, or ice creams for a refreshing minty flavor.

Holly, Winterberry, Jim Dandy Male

One of the best plants for fall and winter color.

Female plants produce bright red berries in profusion in early fall while leaves are still green and remain until mid-winter.  This male variety is required for berry production on the females.  Allow one male for every three females.  Plants should be within 50′ of each other for best fruit set.

Berried stems often used in seasonal dried arrangements.

Likes acidic soil, will tolerate wet, swampy conditions.

Native to the northeastern United States.

Winterberry is dioecious, so both male and female plants are needed for fruit production.
